Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

AD Fusion training objectives

  • Master the merging of Active Directory directories, messaging systems and device fleets for a smooth professional migration in an enterprise setting.
  • Define a sustainable path between coexistence and full merger while limiting operational costs.
  • Configure trusts, directory synchronization and a shared address book for a unified experience.
  • Harmonize user principal names and email addresses while resolving identity conflicts.
  • Handle duplicate names and duplicate domains via PowerShell scripts and tailored GPO strategies.
  • Sequence the merger by population with rollback plans to avoid service disruptions.
  • Optimize three-year coexistence as a stable and secure operating state.

Program

AD Fusion curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Merger planning and coexistence (PowerShell, ADMT)

Analysis of both existing directories on a realistic lab including orphaned accounts and accumulated strategies. Identification of risks associated with prolonged coexistence.

Handling of duplicate names, duplicate domains and multiple identities. Harmonization of userPrincipalName and SMTP addresses. Creation of transition GPO policies for workstations. Deployment of automated cleanup scripts and validation of access after each cutover.

Module 4 : Population sequencing and cutovers (ADMT, PowerShell)

Segmentation of populations by department or site to limit impact. Preparation of migration batches with connectivity and permission tests. Execution of cutovers on the lab with failure simulation and activation of rollback plans. Log analysis and adjustment of GPO strategies.

Module 5 : Post-merger optimization and stabilization (PowerShell, GPO)

Cleanup of residual objects and consolidation of group policies. Validation of performance and security after full merger. Documentation of processes and skills transfer for daily operations. Review of sustainable coexistence scenarios and operational recommendations.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your AD Fusion training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
