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 will 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 for the first time they log on (for
possible password options, see “MSDSS Password Management” in “MSDSS
Deployment: Understanding Synchronization and Migration)” available at

Medium-Sized or Large Environment
An organization large enough to have WAN links will probably choose either to synchronize
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 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.
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 the PowerVault 75xN system DomainUtils share.
NOTE: To access MSDSS software, map a network drive to \\<Dell
xxxxxxx
>\DomainUtils
where <Dell
xxxxxxx
> is the name of the PowerVault 75
x
N system.
