Data management, OS deployment and Personality Migration solutions from Novell® make migrating to Vista simple and easy. Sign up for our Web seminar series and learn how you can transfer applications, files, settings and personalities from your existing OS to Vista in just a few clicks.
Learn how to best evaluate your Vista options and transition strategy—regardless of the platform you currently use. Discover how to:
- Run readiness reports to determine which desktops are ready to be upgraded.
- Investigate your organization's license compliance to figure out how many licenses of your current OS and the implications for a Vista migration.
- Determine which users to migrate first and how to best prepare them for the move.
- Analyze whether to stay with your current OS, migrate to Vista or make the move to SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop.
Discover how easily you can deploy Vista while ensuring that all your applications, including custom ones, will work post-migration—as well as how to:
- Designate the appropriate migrating user settings, application settings, and more.
- Prepare machines that won't be migrated for some time.

- Distributing applications to all the users who need them.
- Automating the setup, updating, healing and migration of desktop devices and the services they run.
