Small Environment
A small company with a LAN-based and uncomplicated network is often a likely candi-
date for a quick migration. After doing all the preparations described in the above
section, perform these steps (adjusted, if necessary, to your situation):
1.
Back up your NetWare system and user data.
2.
Install and configure a Windows 2000 domain controller (see the documentation
that comes with your operating system software).
3.
Install the Novell Client for Windows 2000 from the Novell Web site
(
http://www.novell.com/download/
).
4.
Replace services or applications that require NDS with software compatible with
Active Directory. (NDS applications should be moved before you begin using
MSDSS, except for ZENworks, which can be replaced by IntelliMirror at any
time.)
5.
Install MSDSS from the system DomainUtils share.
NOTE: To access MSDSS software, map a network drive to
\\<Dellxxxxxxx>\DomainUtils where <Dellxxxxxxx> is the name of the
Dell PowerVault 735N system.
6.
Log on to the NDS tree or bindery server as Administrator.
7.
Log on to the appropriate Windows 2000 domain as a member of the Domain
Admins group.
8.
On the MSDSS server, open the Help files, and then print out the procedures “To
perform a one-time migration” and for “To migrate files.”
9.
Click the Start button and point to Programs—> Administrative Tools—>
Directory Synchronization to start MSDSS.
10. Follow the instructions as described in the Help printout “To perform a one-time
migration.” The prompts will guide you through the following steps:
a.
Right-click MSDSS in the console tree, and then click New Session to start
the New Session Wizard.
b.
Specify whether objects will be copied from NDS or Bindery.
c.
Click Migration.
d.
If you plan to migrate files as well as directory objects, click the Migrate
Files check box.
You will also run the File Migration utility.
e.
Specify the path to the Active Directory container into which you want to
copy items.
f.
Accept the default domain controller in which to store the migration log.
