Run Migration Wizard

1. Download and install Migration Wizard from Novell Software Downloads > NetWare > NetWare Migration Wizard 6 or from the NetWare 6 Operating System CD. Follow the download and installation instructions.

2. Launch Migration Wizard from the Start menu by clicking Programs > Novell > NetWare Migration Wizard > NetWare Migration Wizard.

3. Click Create a New Project > OK.

4. Click Microsoft Windows NT 3.51/4 Server > OK.

5. Click the View Setup Tasks button.

   This launches your default Web browser and takes you to the NetWare Migration Wizard 6 online documentation.

6. Make sure you have completed the system and software requirements in Meet System and Software Requirements of the online documentation. Then close your browser.

7. Click Next.

8. Verify that the NT domain that appears in the grayed-out text field is the domain that you want to migrate.

   Migration Wizard automatically displays the NT domain that your workstation or server is a member of.

   If you are running Migration Wizard from a workstation, you can change the domain that it is registered in. To do this, exit Migration Wizard and follow the instructions in Registering the Workstation.

9. Name your migration project, choose a place to save it, and then click Next.

   By default, Migration Wizard saves your project in C:\Program Files\Novell\NetWare Migration Wizard.

10. Select your destination NDS tree from the drop-down list and then click Next.

    The destination NDS tree is the NDS tree that you want to migrate your NT data to.

    If you are not logged in to your NDS tree, the NDS tree name will not appear in the drop-down list. If this is the case, click the Browse button to log in to your NDS tree. Once you are logged in, the NDS tree name automatically appears in the drop-down list.

11. Decide whether you want Migration Wizard to find any User objects in your NT domain and in the destination NDS tree that have the same name, and then click Yes or No.

12. Click Create to create and save your migration project.

    When a project is created and saved, Migration Wizard creates a file that contains the success and error logs of your project; these logs contain the details of what took place during the migration.

13. (Conditional) If you clicked Yes in Step 11, continue with Step 13.a. If you clicked No, skip the rest of the steps in this procedure and go to Model Your Migration Project.

    1. Click the Browse button to select an NDS container on the destination NDS tree.

    2. Browse the tree and select an NDS container, and then click OK.

    3. Click Next to begin searching for duplicate usernames.

    4. Decide what you want to do with NT users that have the same name as NDS users.

       The following screen is an example of the username table in Migration Wizard. Carefully review this screen. If you do not make any changes, Migration Wizard will automatically merge the displayed NDS user with the adjacent NT user.

       Figure 3
       Merging Your NT Users with Duplicate NDS Users
       

       You have the following options for each listed NT user:

       • Merge the NT user with the displayed NDS user. Simply leave that user as it is displayed in the table and continue with the next listed NT user.
       • Merge an NT user with a different NDS user. Click the arrow by the NDS username to view a drop-down list containing all the NDS users that have the same username (including contexts) as the adjacent NT user. Select one of the NDS names and continue with the next listed NT user.
       • Do not merge the NT user with any of the matching NDS users. Right-click the NDS user and click Don't Merge. Select this option if you know that none of the listed NDS users represents the same person as the adjacent NT user.

    5. Once you have made a decision for each listed NT user, click Finish.

       The Project Window will now appear and the NT users that you chose to merge with NDS User objects appear automatically as dropped objects in the destination NDS tree.
