Dell PowerVault 725N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 62)

Small Environment
A small company with a LAN-based, simple network is often a likely candidate for a quick migration. After doing all the preparations described in the previous
section, perform the following 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 came with your operating system software).
3. Install the Novell Client for Windows 2000 from the Novell website at www.novell.com/download.
4. Replace services or applications that require NDS with software that is compatible with Active Directory. (Remove NDS applications 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.
6. Log in to the NDS tree or bindery server as administrator.
7. Log in 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 "To migrate files."
9. Click the Start button, and then 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 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 are to 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 must also run the File Migration utility.
e. Specify the path to the Active Directory container in which you want to copy items.
f. Accept the default domain controller in which to store the migration log.
g. Specify the NDS Container or Bindery Container from which to copy items.
h. Provide the name and password of the Novell administrative account.
i. On the Initial Reverse Synchronization page, specify the password options (such as Set passwords to the user name.)
When you are performing a migration, this page does not include the option to actually perform an initial reverse synchronization, but it is the
page where you specify which password option you want to use.
j. Set synchronization mode to default object mapping or to custom object mapping.
k. If you selected custom object mapping, you are prompted to manually establish one-to-one relationships between pairs of objects.
l. Click Finish.
After the user accounts are migrated, you can migrate the file system (migrating the users before the files allows you to migrate file-system permissions).
Follow the instructions in the Help printout, "To migrate files." The prompts guide you through the following steps:
l To start the File Migration Utility, click the Start button and point to Programs® Administrative Tools® File Migration Utility.
l To view mapping relationships, click View Maps.
l To view mapped access rights for the users, groups, organization units, and organizations to be migrated, click Access Rights.
The NDS Modify option converts, by default, to Read because it does not have an equivalent NFTS right. You might want to click the Write check box to
allow read/write access.
l On the Step 2 — Security Accounts tab, verify that you are logged on with the correct Active Directory, NDS, or Bindery credentials.
l 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.
l On the Step 4 — Log File tab, select your logging options, and then click Next.
l 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.
l 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.
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 http://DELL1234567.
