Agenda• Customer Challenges - Migration or

Interoperability?• What is Services for Netware?• Quest NDS Migrator

Customer Challenges• Business Problem:

– Windows Server 2003 and AD are attractive technologies but how do we initiate deployment without scrapping our investment in existing systems?

• Interoperability becomes the key component of their migration path to integrate newer technology– Maximize returns on prior investments made in software, hardware,

and training– Reduce cost of supporting and managing a mixed

network infrastructure– Leverages existing NDS/eDirectory experts as they are extremely

valuable in AD planning– Extend existing legacy investment using newer technology

What is Services for NetWare?

• Set of interoperability utilities that help integrate Windows Server 2003 into a NetWare environment:– Directory Synchronization Services synchronizes Active

Directory™ with NDS, eDirectory

– File Migration Utility migrates NetWare files to Windows Server 2003

– File and Print Services for Netware provides Netware 3.x services on Windows Server 2003

Services for Netware Prerequisites • Active Directory

– Schema extensions are added to support MSDSS session information

• Must have Schema Admin Rights• Target domain, objects to be migrated

• Novell Client32 for Windows– 4.9 SP2– Must be installed on Domain Controller

• Novell Netware 4.x, 5.x, 6.x– NDS or eDirectory supported

• Admin Schema rights– IP protocol supported

• Novell Netware 3.x– Bindery Support– IPX protocol supported

2-Way2-Way

• Changes flow only from Active Directory to NDS, eDirectory

• Good for using Active Directory as management focal point

• Best when short-term strategy is migration to Active Directory

File Migration Utility

• Supports Netware file migration to Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 – Netware 3.x; 4.x; 5.x and 6.x– NDS, eDirectory 8.7.3

• Preserves user permissions at the folder and file level

• Logging capabilities

• Uses MSDSS generated mapping file to objects to permissions on AD

File Migration Considerations

• Amount of data being migrated– Analysis and understand how much user data

needs to be migrated – Backup critical data such as user data

• Storage consolidation opportunities– Consolidate data on to Windows Storage Server

2003 from multiple Netware File Servers

Planning a Migration• Directory restructuring

– OU, Groups, entitlements etc• Removing Novell Client32 from

workstations– Using NETCFG from the OEM Pre-installation

Kit (OPK)– Or wipe and reload

• Logon script modifications– Drive mappings– Printer mappings

• ZenWorks application objects– 3rd party tools

Services for Netware 5.03 Services for Netware 5.03 is available at no cost!is available at no cost!

Repermission

• Pre-Migration Mapping and Planning– It facilitates the object and data migration from Novell to Windows

2000\2003 Active Directory. – It allows for object and OU mappings to be established before the

actual migration so that any potential conflicts are identified for resolution prior to the migration.

• Flexible Migration of Accounts/Groups to AD– During user and group migration an account mapping can be

established between source NDS account and the target Active Directory Account.

– Ability to establish mappings in the following ways:• Using the console to select the source NDS container and the

destination Active Directory container where the NDS objects should be created.

• Map NDS objects to existing Active Directory users or groups.• Importing a CSV file with pre-defined mappings• Importing an Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services (MSDSS)

Quest NDS Migrator FeaturesQuest NDS Migrator Features

• Intra-NDS Name Conflicts– Performs a Intra-NDS naming conflict check to identify

duplicate names within the NDS tree

• Scheduled, unattended data movement– Scheduled data migrations free the administrator’s time

and allow data to be migrated during off-peak hours

• Pre-migration file scan– Scans source and target computers to ensure that all

files and folders are valid, – Appropriate access permissions are present– Target disk has enough free space.

Quest NDS Migrator FeaturesQuest NDS Migrator Features

• MAC file support– During the data migration all MAC files are automatically identified and

their permissions properly translated as the files get migrated to the target Windows 2000\2003 server.

• Multi Threaded copy engine– Multi threaded copy engine accelerates the data movement from NDS to

Windows 2000\2003 and reduces the overall migration project.

• Built by Quest Professional Services Organization

– NDS Reporter (Assessment of NDS Environment)– Workgroup Migrator (Migrate workstations from a workgroup to Active Directory)– Remove Novell Client from Windows 2000 and XP

Project Planning

Deployment Considerations

– Location of the NDS Migrator console– Location of Active Directory volumes

(network)– Location of NetWare volumes (network)– Obtaining administrative access to all

resources– Database considerations

• SQL 2000• MSDE

• Planning Requirements:– Complete list of users / groups to be

migrated– List of volumes to be migrated– List of project options to be selected– List of duplicate objects in the migration

project– A change control process– An exception handling process

Deployment Considerations

Duplicate Object Detection:• Verify the existence of duplicate objects in NDS

• Verify if the object(s) already exists in Active Directory

• Perform clean-up on object duplicates

• Decide on merge options if objects already exist

Deployment Considerations

User & Group Migration:• Migrate users and groups to Active Directory

• OU Structure considerations

• Password Synchronization

• Complete set of object mappings in database

• Ensure proper object creation and location

Deployment Considerations

NetWare Volume Migration:• Migrate data from NetWare volumes to Active

Directory volumes

• Scheduling Migrations from other servers

• Factors that determine the length of the Volume Migration (LAN/WAN Speeds, hardware, etc…)

Deployment Considerations

• Creating a migration project

• Setting migration Options– Need to be set prior to migrating users and groups.– Each project in the Migration Guide contains its own

set of migration options, set when you define that project

– Setting the Global Options

Object Migration

This stage consists of three steps:

• Create mappings between NDS and Active

Directory objects

• Detect collisions and name conflicts

• Migrate the objects
