After the user accounts are migrated, you can migrate the file system (migrating the users before the files allow you to
migrate file-system permissions). Follow the instructions as described in the Help printout, "To migrate files." The prompts
guide you through the following steps:
To start the File Migration Utility, click the Start button and point to Programs—> Administrative Tools—> File
Migration Utility.
To view mapping relationships, click View Maps.
To view mapped access rights for the users, groups, organization units, and organizations to be migrated, click
Access Rights.
The NDS Modify right 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.
On the Step 2 –— Security Accounts tab, verify that you are logged on with the correct Active Directory, NDS, or
Bindery credentials.
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 indicates Unavailable, then you are not currently
logged on to that tree or Bindery server. Log on, and then press
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 respectively under NetWare scan logs and Windows scan logs. 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 the users know how to handle their password the first time they log on (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.
