Dell PowerVault 715N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 91)

On the Step 3 — Source and Target tab under Source (NDS/Bindery), click the volume or directories from
which you want to migrate files. Under Target (Active Directory), click the shares or directories to which you
want to migrate files, click the Map button, and then click Next.
If the NDS or Bindery volume you selected in the source tree displays Unavailable, then you are not currently
logged in to that tree or Bindery server. Log in, and then press <F5> after reselecting the volume to view the
directories within the displayed volume.
On the Step 4 — Log File tab, select your logging options, and then click Next.
On the Step 5 — Scan tab, click Scan, and then click Next.
The utility scans all source volumes and counts and displays the number of directories and files in each. It ensures
that proper access has been given to each source volume, directory, and file. If any errors occur, the utility displays
them under NetWare scan logs and Windows scan logs, respectively. You can select a number of acceptable
errors; if this number is exceeded, the process aborts, allowing you to return to previous steps to correct the errors.
On the Step 6 — Migrate tab, click Migrate.
Manually migrate (or use third-party utilities to migrate) object security permissions and system accounts, printer objects,
application objects, and other objects that MSDSS does not migrate from Bindery or NDS to Active Directory. (MSDSS
migrates NetWare user accounts, groups, and distribution lists for Bindery and NDS, and, for NDS only, MSDSS also
migrates NDS organizational units and organizations.)
1. Upgrade your NetWare server(s) to the Windows 2000 Server or Professional operating system.
2. On each Windows desktop in your NetWare network, uninstall Novell Client Access.
You must configure the desktops to join the Windows 2000 domain.
3. Optionally, upgrade NetWare clients (workstations) to the Windows 2000 Professional operating system.
4. Configure all client systems (both Windows and non-Windows), to join the Windows 2000 domain.
Be sure that the users know how to handle their password the first time they log in (for possible password options,
see "MSDSS Password Management" in "MSDSS Deployment: Understanding Synchronization and Migration)" at

Medium-Sized or Large Environment
An organization large enough to have WAN links probably selects to synchronize its networks temporarily while
performing a gradual migration over time (up to 3 months for a large network), or it prefers to use synchronization to
establish a mixed Novell/Windows 2000 network on a long-term basis. If you plan a staged migration, one-way
synchronization is often the appropriate choice.
After doing all the preparation described above, perform the following steps (adjusted, if necessary, to your situation):
1. Back up your NetWare user and system data.
2. Install and configure a Windows 2000 domain controller (see the documentation that came with your operating
system software).
3. Install the Novell Client for Windows 2000 from the Novell website at www.novell.com/download.
4. Install MSDSS from the PowerVault 715N system DomainUtils share.
NOTE: To access MSDSS software, map a network drive to \\Dellxxxxxxx\DomainUtils, where xxxxxxx is
the system's service tag number. For example, if your service tag number is 1234567, type DELL1234567.
You can find the service tag number on the top cover of your NAS system.
5. Log in to the NDS tree or Bindery server with administrative credentials.
6. Log in to the appropriate Windows 2000 domain as a member of the Domain Admins group.
7. On the MSDSS server, open the Help files, and then print out the steps (briefly summarized below) for "To perform
a one-way synchronization" or "To perform a two- way synchronization."
