There is a lot of focus on migration platforms – which tool, which version, and which connector you use.

PowerShell is the most consistent differentiator that I’ve seen.

Not as a substitute for dedicated migration tools, but as a layer that makes all the other stuff work at scale. Extracting and validating Active Directory before migration begins. Inconsistencies that would not be detected by the GUI in source environments. Automating tasks that would normally take days to complete manually. Validating the post-migration status against a baseline.

Every migration tool has its limits. PowerShell allows you to work around these limitations without having to improvise.

Engineers who consider scripting optional also experience the same manual bottlenecks in every project. Those who invest early in it run cleaner migrations on a larger scale.
