If running on a Windows 2000 workstation, Service Pack 2 or later must be installed.
The Migration Wizard Utility does not work with Windows XP Home Edition or Windows 95/98.
Windows NT/2000/XP workstations must be running Novell Client for Windows NT/2000/XP version 4.9 or later.
To check the Novell Client version, right-click the N icon on the workstation toolbar, then click Novell Client Properties > Client. To download the latest client, see the Novell Software Downloads site.
If Microsoft Jet Database drivers are not installed on your NT 4.0 workstation, they can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com/downloads by searching for the Jet 4.0 Service Pack 3 Update.
If MDAC 2.7 is not installed on your workstation, it can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com/downloads.
The source server is the NetWare server that contains the files, volumes, and NDS/eDirectory objects that will be copied to the NetWare destination server. Valid source servers can be running NetWare 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, or 6.5. Migrations to a NetWare 6.5 destination server can be successfully completed from a NetWare 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, or 6.5 source server.
IMPORTANT: To perform a migration from a NetWare 3 or NetWare 4 server, use the Migration Wizard Utility version 6.5.
WARNING:
When migrating a NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectoryTM version 8.6.2 to a new NetWare 6.0 server with eDirectory 8.6.2, you might encounter an NDS® error stating you couldn't copy an NDS object because you do not have the proper rights. This can occur even if you are logged in as Admin.
Installing eDirectory version 8.7 or later on the source server and running the migration again resolves this issue.
Updates are available at the Consolidated Support Pack home page.
Make sure that these finish with no errors.
The destination server is the new computer that will receive the data from the source server. This server must be installed into a temporary tree.
After data is migrated from the source server to the destination server, the destination server reboots and Migration Wizard automatically modifies the destination server's autoexec.ncf file to include the source server's name and internal IPX number/server ID. You don't have to modify these manually.
Valid destination servers can be running NetWare 6.0 and 6.5. Migration Wizard 7.1 does not migrate to NetWare 4 or NetWare 5 destination servers.
IMPORTANT: To perform a migration to a NetWare 5 server, use the Migration Wizard Utility version 6.5.
Make sure that you select the Pre-migration Server option described in "Selecting the Type of Installation" in the NetWare 6 Overview and Installation Guide during the NetWare 6 installation. And then select the custom option so that you can verify that you have enough room on your destination server to accommodate your source server data.
Make sure that you select the Pre-migration Server pattern described in the NetWare 6.5 Overview and Installation Guide under the Choosing the Server Type heading during the NetWare 6.5 installation.
Universal Password is disabled by default on NetWare 6.5.
IMPORTANT: The temporary server name and temporary tree name must not be the same as the source server's name or tree name; otherwise, the destination server will not assume the identity of the source server after the migration.
After the migration completes and the source server is taken offline, you can change the destination server's IP address to match what had been assigned to the source server.
