The Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit runs on a Windows workstation on the network. This workstation must meet the requirements outlined in this section.
Windows XP Professional Edition or Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3
The utilities in the toolkit do not run on Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows NT, or Windows 95/98.

Novell Client 4.91 for Windows 2000/XP
To check the Novell Client version, right-click the N icon on the workstation toolbar and then click > .
You must also make the following settings in your Novell Client software:
Disable file caching
Right-click the N icon, then click > > > .
(Conditional) Enable UTF-8 support if you are copying extended ASCII (multinational characters) or double-byte character set (oriental languages) data
Right-click the N icon, then click > > > .
(Conditional) If you are copying data from NetWare 4 servers, you must configure the Novell Client software to support the IPX protocol. See the Novell Client 4.91 for Windows 2000/XP documentation for more information.
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8
If MDAC 2.8 is not installed on your workstation, it can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center.
Disable any antivirus programs running on the workstation. You can re-enable virus protection after the consolidation project is completed.
For NetWare projects, you must be logged in as a user with the Supervisor right to the source and destination servers.
Use ConsoleOne to verify that you have the necessary rights to access all source and destination servers.
For Windows projects, you must be logged in as a user with administrative rights to the domain containing the source server and workstation.
You need the Write/Modify permission to the domain and the Registry of the Primary Domain Controller (PDC). You also need the Read permission to all folders and files you are copying.
HINT:For Windows 2000/2003 consolidation projects, you can run the Server Consolidation Utility on the Windows server itself. This is the preferred method, especially if you have data that uses extended ASCII (multinational characters) or double-byte character sets (Japanese, Korean, and other oriental languages). You cannot run the Server Consolidation Utility on Windows NT servers.
If you have extended ASCII or double-byte character set data on a Windows source server and you plan to run the Server Consolidation Utility on a separate Windows workstation, the workstation must have Windows installed with the same language as the server. For example, if you are migrating a Japanese server, make sure that your workstation is also running Japanese. You must also enable UTF-8 support in the Novell Client.
