Start Migration Wizard and Create a Project File

  1. Start NetWare Migration Wizard from the location where you installed it.

    By default, Migration Wizard is installed in c:\program files\novell migration wizard.
    You can access it on the desktop by clicking Start > Programs > Novell Migration Wizard > Novell Migration Wizard.

  2. Read the About screen, then click OK.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • To start a new migration project, click Create a New Project > OK.
    • To open an existing project, click Open an Existing Project > OK.

      Select the project file you want to work on and click Open.

    • To open the last project you worked on, click Open Last Project > OK.

  4. (Optional) Click View Online Documentation.

    This launches your default Web browser and takes you to the NetWare Migration Wizard online documentation.

    Make sure you have completed the procedures in Preparing for a Server Migration. Then close your browser and click Next.

  5. Name the project and select a place to save it.

    By default, Migration Wizard saves all projects to c:\program files\novell migration wizard. You can click Browse to select a different location.

    Migration Wizard uses a project (.mdb) file to record your progress throughout the migration. At any point before the migration is complete, you can exit Migration Wizard and restart the utility to pick up where you left off.

    The filename can be up to 64 characters long and can include any character except \ * ? < > | " /. It is a good idea to use a standard naming convention to clearly identify each project.

    Enter a descriptive project filename and click Next.

  6. Select the eDirectory tree that contains your source server, then click Next.

    If necessary, click the Login button to attach to the tree.

  7. Select your source server from the eDirectory tree, then click Next.

    If necessary, navigate the tree until you find the desired source server.

  8. Select the eDirectory tree that contains your destination server, then click Next.

    If necessary, click the Login button to attach to the tree.

  9. Select your destination server from the destination eDirectory tree, then click Next.

    If necessary, navigate the tree until you find the destination server. It should be the only server in the tree.

  10. To create the project file with the information you have entered thus far, click Create.
