The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP Toolkit) is an agentless, automated, multi-product inventory

gathering, planning and assessment tool for quicker and easier desktop, server and cloud migrations. MAP
provides detailed readiness assessment reports and executive proposals with extensive hardware and software
information, and actionable recommendations to help organizations accelerate their IT infrastructure planning
process, and gather more detail on assets that reside within their current environment.

This is critical to ensure MAP can communicate with VMware and capture the VM Guest and Host information.

Upon making the selections above, click “Next” to move on to the next step.
In this next step you will choose how to scan your network for servers. You may have to select more than one option
provided:

• Use Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) – Select this option

• Manually enter computer names and credentials – Select this option

Once you have chosen the discovery methods, click “Next” to move on to the next step.

Note: If there are parts of your network that are firewalled and only accessible from machines on that part of the network, you will need to install and run MAP from a machine
within that firewall in order to obtain all data on the network. You will need to export the templates from each MAP installation using the directions provided on page 14-20.
Enter the top level domain for your network and fill in the necessary information. Please note that using a Domain
Administrator account to run this will avoid any possible connectivity issues on a server by server basis.

Click “Next” when you have filled in the security information. Also note that if you have multiple domains that are
not connected to one another, this process will need to be performed for each domain individually, as the tool will
not be able to scan across those domains.

This step requires a FQDN (see below) otherwise the scan will not be successful.
When you click “Next”, your network credentials will be validated. This process may take a few minutes. After the
system validates your credentials, you will see the screen below (image blurred for security purposes). This screen
will list the domains within this forest that will be scanned. Ensure all are domains are checked and click “Next”.
In this step you will need to provide all credentials that will be required based on the discovery methods you check
earlier (e.g. scan by Domain Name, AD DS, Manual entered Computer [if applicable], etc.)

Click “Create” to enter the first set of credentials. Then click “Save and New” and enter the next set of credentials.

Example: In the below images there are 2 separate logins: (1) Login for the Domain, and (2) login for SQL Server “sa”.

Continue this process until all credentials necessary to scan your environment have been entered. When you are
finished, click “Next”.

Note: Oftentimes domain admins are NOT admins in the Virtual infrastructure. If you’re scanning your virtual infrastructure, be sureto add Virtual credentials to this list before
proceeding.
Once you finish adding credentials and click Next, you will see a screen similar to the below image. Ensure it is
setup correctly, and then click ‘Next’.
After you have prioritized the credentials, click “Next” and you will see the screen as shown below. Based on your
specific network infrastructure, you may have to create a TCP/IP port(s).

Note: Very few customers will use SSL and Port 9443 for the VMWare 5.1 and newer. Click on the following link if you encounter an issue with access to the VMWare vCenters.

Once you have finished this, click Next to finish the setup and begin the scanning process. This could take anywhere
from 10 minutes to a few hours, so be patient.
