Regardless of the migration option chosen, the first step to migrate a server using Azure Migration: Server Migration is to start replication for the server. This performs an initial replication of your VM/server data to Azure. After the initial replication is completed, an ongoing replication (ongoing delta-sync) is established to migrate incremental data to Azure. Once the operation reaches the delta-sync stage, you can choose to migrate to Azure at any time.

Test migration simulates the actual migration by creating a test Azure VM using replicated data. The server will be deployed with a point in time copy of the replicated data to the target Resource Group (selected while enabling replication) with a “-test” suffix. Test migrations are intended for validating server functionality so that post migration issues are minimized. If the test migration isn't cleaned up post testing, the test virtual machine will continue to run in Azure, and will incur charges. To clean up post a test migration, go to the replicating machines view in the Server Migration tool, and use the 'cleanup test migration' action on the machine.

The Server Migration tool is application agnostic and works for most applications. When you migrate a server using the Server Migration tool, all the applications installed on the server are migrated along with it. However, for some applications, alternate migration methods other than server migration may be better suited for the migration. For Active Directory, if hybrid environments where the on-premises site is connected to your Azure environment, you can extend your Directory into Azure by adding extra domain controllers in Azure and setting up Active Directory replication. If you're migrating into an isolated environment in Azure requiring its own domain controllers (or testing applications in a sandbox environment), you can migrate servers using the server migration tool.

The agent-based migration method uses agent software installed on the server being migrated to replicate server data to Azure. The replication process uses an offload architecture in which the agent relays replication data to a dedicated replication server called the replication appliance or Configuration Server (or to a scale-out Process Server). [Learn more](./agent-based-migration-architecture.md) about how the agent-based migration option works.
