Yes, I believe so. I never really used the Quest tools, so I can't tell you exactly what is different.

Syntax for the AD module can be found on TechNet or here:

Don't use the old Quest tools, just use the AD module.

If you really need them for some unknown reason, you can find them on Dell's website.

Shall use below AD Module instead of quest

Get-QADUser = Get-ADUser
Disable-QADUser = Disable-ADAccount
Set-QADUser = Set-ADUser
Move-QADObject = Move-ADObject 

Do they behave in a similar manner ?

Script is to 

Generate a Report of Inactive User, Move them to a diff OU and then Disable it. I have updated the AD module in this script, seems like the parameter that was used before does not match with AD Module

Error "Get-ADUser : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'SearchRoot'."

Commands are

Set-ADUser $_ -Description $Description  
            Move-ADObject $_ -NewParentContainer $DestinationOU 

    $inactiveUsers = Get-ADUser -SizeLimit 0 -SearchRoot $sourceOu -NotLoggedOnFor $InactiveFor -Enabled | Where-Object {$_.description -notlike $DescriptionPrefix} 

If you can help me out to replace these Parameters according to AD module.

You have to use help to learn how to use the CmdLet.

Help Get-AdUser -full.

We cannot teach you how to convert third party code.

For help with Quest CmdLets post in the Dell forums.
