Manually migrate (or use third-party utilities to migrate) object security permissions

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 will configure the desktops to join the Windows 2000 domain.
3.
Optionally, upgrade NetWare clients (workstations) to the Windows 2000 Profes-
sional operating system.
4.
Configure all client systems (both Windows and non-Windows), to join the Win-
dows 2000 domain.
Be sure the users know how to handle their password for the first time they log
on (for possible password options, see “MSDSS Password Management” in

Medium-sized or Large Environment
An organization large enough to have WAN links will probably choose either to syn-
chronize its networks temporarily while performing a gradual migration over time (up
to three months for a large network), or it will prefer to use synchronization to estab-
lish 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 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.
Install MSDSS from Dell PowerVault 735N system DomainUtils share.
NOTE: To access MSDSS software, map a network drive to
