Christmas comes now for companies using Microsoft's MFA Server who want to upgrade to the next generation Azure MFA.
Microsoft has unveiled its new Azure MFA Server Migration Utility to make migrating to the next generation Azure MFA smoother and easier. The Azure MFA, Microsoft's new flagship MFA server, is designed to provide lower TCO, simpler deployment and better security than the MFA Server. Read this Microsoft article to get more details on the Server and Migration Utility.
What is the MFA Server Migration Utility?
The MFA Server Migration Utility is a tool provided by Microsoft that allows administrators to migrate users from on-premises MFA Server to Azure MFA without requiring any re-registration from end users. This utility simplifies the migration process and helps organizations modernize their security infrastructure.
How does the migration process work?
Admins can migrate user data by selecting the Azure AD group containing the users they wish to migrate, defining the registered MFA methods to be moved, and then clicking 'Migrate Users.' The process is designed to be straightforward and does not require changes to tenant or federation settings.
What are the benefits of migrating to Azure MFA?
Azure MFA provides a more streamlined experience with lower total cost of ownership (TCO), simpler deployment, enhanced security features, and the ability to retire the on-premises MFA Server and ADFS deployment. This transition can lead to reduced infrastructure and maintenance costs while improving the availability and reliability of MFA services.
