Administrator Guide

c. Click Migration.
d. If you plan to migrate files as well as directory objects, click the Migrate Files check box.
You must also run the File Migration utility.
e. Specify the path to the Active Directory container in which you want to copy items.
f. Accept the default domain controller in which to store the migration log.
g. Specify the NDS Container or Bindery Container from which to copy items.
h. Provide the name and password of the Novell administrative account.
i. On the Initial Reverse Synchronization page, specify the password options (such as Set passwords to the
user name.)
When you are performing a migration, this page does not include the option to actually perform an initial reverse
synchronization, but it is the page where you specify which password option you want to use.
j. Set synchronization mode to default object mapping or to custom object mapping.
k. If you selected custom object mapping, you are prompted to manually establish one-to-one relationships
between pairs of objects.
l. Click Finish.
After the user accounts are migrated, you can migrate the file system (migrating the users before the files allows you to
migrate file-system permissions). Follow the instructions 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 option 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 displays Unavailable, then you are not currently logged
in to that tree or Bindery server. Log in, and then press <F5> after reselecting the volume to view the 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
under NetWare scan logs and Windows scan logs, respectively. 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.
