Dell PowerVault 725N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 61)

2. Click Maintenance, and then click Terminal Services.
3. Log in to the NAS system as an administrator.
The Advanced Administration Menu displays. If it does not display, double-click the Advanced Administration Menu icon on the desktop of the NAS
system.
4. Click System Management, and then click Network Properties.
5. In the Network and Dial-up Connections window, right-click the network adapter used by the NAS system and select Properties.
6. In the Local Area Connection Properties window, click NWLink/IPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol, and click Properties.
7. In the NWLink/IPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol window, select Manual Frame type detection.
8. Click Add.
9. In the Manual Frame Detection window, select a frame type, enter a network number for the IPX network, and then click OK.
10. Click OK.
11. Click OK to close the Local Area Connection window.
12. Close the Network and Dial-Up Connections window.
The IPX protocol is now configured on the NAS system to manually detect frame types.
Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services
Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services (MSDSS) allows you to synchronize a wide variety of data stored in the Active Directory service with Novell
Directory Service (NDS) and NetWare 3.x binderies.
MSDSS is a highly flexible service that helps Novell users to perform the following tasks:
l Adopt Windows 2000 Server and the Active Directory service
l Reduce directory management through two-way synchronization
l Migrate NDS and bindery information to Windows 2000 Server
MSDSS supports two-way synchronization with NDS and one-way synchronization with NetWare 3.x binderies to provide a complete directory interoperability
solution. MSDSS also supports password synchronization and provides a directory migration service.
MSDSS allows NetWare users to deploy Active Directory without having to replace existing directories or bear the cost of managing two separate directories.
As a result, users have the flexibility to:
l Consolidate directory management when multiple directories are required
l Manage accounts from either directory
l Use directory-enabled applications, devices, and services based on the Windows 2000 Active Directory service
MSDSS is easy to use and makes synchronization and Active Directory setup easy through its management interface. It is fully featured to allow users a choice
of management, synchronization, and migration options.
MSDSS supports all major NetWare platforms and most Novell directories and binderies, and it includes support for IPX/SPX and TCP/IP network protocols.
Windows 2000 MSDSS Domain Controller
To implement MSDSS, you must install the Windows 2000 Server operating system and the MSDSS software (available on the Microsoft Services for NetWare
Version 5 CD) on at least one system. In Windows 2000, when you promote a system running Windows 2000 Server to an Active Directory server, it becomes
a domain controller. You use this domain controller to configure Active Directory, install MSDSS, and then import information from the existing NetWare
environment.
The larger the environment, the more new servers you need. If you are planning to have more than one domain, then you need new hardware for the first
domain controller in each domain.
You must also install Novell Client Access software on the MSDSS server or servers. MSDSS uses Novell Client Access to authenticate and to access NDS. While
accessing NDS, it authenticates, but does not use a license. MSDSS also uses Novell Client Access to map one directory's contents to another, taking into
account the fact that the object classes in Novell's NDS or bindery directories are different from Active Directory object classes. Novell Client Access is also
required to use the File Migration utility to migrate files.
You can install Novell Client Access in four modes: IP only, IPX only, IP and IPX combined, and IP with IPX Compatibility Mode. Most NetWare environments
still use IPX. MSDSS works in all the modes because it uses Novell Client Access to access the lower layers.
If you are migrating NDS, you can import the user and group information from one NDS server to the MSDSS server because you have one user database per
tree. You can then migrate the file system. Remember that each Novell server has its own file system, which is not replicated to other servers (whereas NDS is
replicated to other servers). After the files are migrated, you can uninstall NDS from the server to provide more space for the Windows 2000 Server operating
system.
Outline of the MSDSS Deployment Procedure
The next two sections describe the procedures for implementing MSDSS in a smaller (local area network [LAN] only) or larger (wide area network [WAN])
network. You should adapt the guidelines to suit your environment and goals.
NOTE: The default administrator user name is administrator and the default password is powervault.
