Migrate Novell Directory Services to Active DirectoryNDS MigratorQuest NDS Migrator is a comprehensive solution that accelerates and simplifies migrations from Novell Directory Services to Active Directory.
Conventional migration tools don’t incorporate an enterprise-wide NDS-to-AD methodology. Migrating without a comprehensive tool means manually creating objects and re-assigning rights, which is a risky process. In addition, migration projects require organization and central management, which most available tools lack. A migration to Active Directory and Windows Server 2000/2003 affects the entire enterprise and requires major reconfiguration of resources.
NDS Migrator provides everything you need to migrate Novell NDS and Bindery environments to Active Directory. The NDS Migrator central console enables access to all options, both pre- and post-migration, as well as scheduling. NDS Migrator provides a native view of both your NDS and Active Directory tree for better planning.
From complete account, group and organizational unit (OU) migration to file and directory migration and synchronization, NDS Migrator has you covered.
Object Selection and Migration
Object selection involves selecting source NDS OU containers, including the user and group objects, and then pointing these to a target destination in Active Directory. Correlations between source objects and target objects are archived for later use.
Data Selection and Migration
Data selection involves selecting files and directories from one or more NDS volumes. The target locations for data are then selected on a Windows 2000 file server. Data can also be migrated to a Network Appliance Filer. When the data is copied, the NDS permissions are translated and applied to the Active Directory permissions based on the correlations defined during the object migration.
ZeroIMPACT on Users and Help Desk
NDS Migrator helps ensure a ZeroIMPACT migration by automating updates of end-user desktops so profiles, mapped drives, desktop shortcuts and server-side OLE links continue to function during and after the migration. It also provides clean-up options, such as removal of the Novell Client from end-user desktops. Administrators need not visit each workstation and users will need no assistance from the help desk.
