Working with CA Technologies Merger and Acquisition Tool

Working with the CA Technologies Merger and Acquisition Tool broadly involves the following steps:

1. Open the CA Technologies Merger and Acquisition Tool.
2. Specify the source and destination domain information.
3. Specify the user profiles to migrate.

   Note: You can also specify the user profiles to migrate in the Merger and Acquisition template (also referred to as MA Config file in this document). You can create the Merger and Acquisition template by using the DMM Template Editor.

4. Select the Windows services to migrate.
5. Specify a new MS Exchange Server name for MS Outlook.
6. Start migration to migrate the information and to remove the computer from the old domain.

Note: If you select the encryption option while capturing the settings and then use the CA Merger and Acquisition Tool to perform the migration, you need to make sure that you have entered the key path in the DMM Options file. If the tool does not find the key path in the DMM Options file, the tool stops the migration without displaying any error message. The reason is that the CA Merger and Acquisition Tool performs the migration in the silent mode and hence cannot prompt for the key path. However, the following error message is logged in the log file to specify that the migration has failed because of the non-availability of the key path in the DMM Options file:

Creation failed for "<DNA File Name>": No encryption key is available. A well-known encryption key was returned.
