Novell 6.5 to 2003 R2

[Guest Jim Krebs]

I will be moving our organization off Novell servers to Microsoft in the next

few months. We use Exchange for our email and have AD already completely

populated with OUs and users so no migration there is desired.

 

My problem is a tool to migrate the files. I'd prefer something a bit more

reliable than click/drag/copy, but every tool I've come across wants to do a

complete user as well as file migration. I realize the time necessary to get

rights set up again will seriously increase, but again all of our users are

already in AD and the OU structure there does not map to the current Novell

NDS structure.

 

It would be great if the tool would allow you to set up the move and also

allow you to map which AD group / user you want to have rights. I would also

have to be able to split servers up. I have one server with over 800,000

files and want to split that up into several 2003 servers.

 

Thanks in advance
