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 systems running NetWare and most Novell directories and binderies, and it includes support for IPX/SPX and TCP/IP network
protocols.
