3 Agenda Customer Challenges - Migration or Interoperability? What is Services for Netware? Quest NDS Migrator

4 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 InteroperabilityMigration

5 Netware Migrations What We Heard about Migration Options? What We’re Doing? SFN (Free Download) –File Migration Utility –F/P Services for Netware –MSDSS Partner Offerings –Quest\NetIQ\Bindview MIIS (Long term interop) –Directory Synchronization –Password Management –User Provisioning SFN (short term interop) Guidance –Producing two Solution Accelerators Re-energizing both MSFT field and partners “give me tools to help me migrate” “I have invested in a lot in Netware I can’t just drop it” “…migration?…I need guidance, services ”

6 Customer Challenges - Migration or Interoperability? What is Services for Netware? Quest NDS Migrator Agenda

7 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

8 Services for NetWare Overview  Synchronizes AD with NDS/eDirectory  Reduces directory management  Simplifies adoption of Windows Server  Migrates NetWare files to Windows Server 2003  Accelerates migration processes  Preserves access control information Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services FileMigrationUtility File and Print Services for NetWare v.5.02  Enables a Windows 2003 Server to look like a NetWare File/Print Server  Reduces migration costs  Consolidates hardware support costs

9 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

10 Interoperability With NDS, eDirectoryTechnologies: Microsoft Identity Integration ServerMicrosoft Identity Integration Server2003 Services for NetWare Services for NetWare Purpose: Communication Communication Distributed management Distributed management Centralized Identity Management Centralized Identity Management Windows Server 2003 NDS & eDirectory

11 1-Way And 2-Way Support ActiveDirectory NDS,eDirectory 1-Way Changes flow bi-directionally between Active Directory and NDS, eDirectory Good when administrators want to continue to manage data from both directories Good when users need to access data on the Netware server ActiveDirectoryNDS,eDirectory 2-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

12 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

13 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

14 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 –3 rd party tools

15 Services for Netware 5.03 is available at no cost!

16 Services For NetWare Resources: Services for Netware Information http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sfn Netware to Windows Server 2003 Migration Guide http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/ov erview/sfnmig.mspx

17 Agenda Customer Challenges - Migration or Interoperability? What is Services for Netware? Quest NDS Migrator

18 Product Schematic NDS Migrator Console NDS Tree AD Forest Object Migration Mapping Database Data Migration Repermission

19 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) file Quest NDS Migrator Features

20 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 Features

21 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 Quest NDS Migrator Features

22 Project Planning

23 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

24 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

25 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

26 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

27 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

28 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 Starting a Migration

29 NDS Migrator Setup and Config Demo

30 Object Migration

31 This stage consists of three steps: Create mappings between NDS and Active Directory objects Detect collisions and name conflicts Migrate the objects

32 NDS Migrator Object Migration

33 File Migration Creating a volume mapping Setting file migration options Scanning the volumes Migrating the files and folders

34 NDS Migrator File Migration Demo
