Run Novell NetWare Migration Wizard

1. Download and install NetWare Migration Wizard 6 from the NetWare section of the Novell Software Downloads Web site.

2. Run Migration Wizard from the location where you installed it.

   The installation program, by default, installs Migration Wizard at this location: Start Menu > Programs > Novell > Netware Migration Wizard > NetWare Migration Wizard.

3. Read the Welcome screen and click OK.

4. Click Create a New Project > OK.

5. Click NetWare 3 > OK.

6. Click the View Setup Tasks button.

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

7. Browse to Migrating Data from NetWare 3 and make sure you have completed the system and software requirements in "Meet System and Software Requirements." Then close your browser.

8. Click Next.

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 the source servers that you want to migrate.

    Only servers that you are already logged in to appear in the Selected Servers text box. To log in to a server, click the Server icon. When you are finished selecting your servers, click Next.

11. Select your destination NDS tree and click Next.

12. Decide whether you want Migration Wizard to find any NetWare 3 and NDS User objects that have the same name, click Yes or No, and then click Next.

    If you choose to do this, Migration Wizard will look for duplicate usernames in the destination NDS tree and on the NetWare 3 source servers. Migration Wizard will then display its findings and you can choose to merge the matching User objects.

13. To create and save your project, click Create.

    When a project is created and saved, Migration Wizard also creates success and error logs which contain the details of what took place during the migration.

14. If you clicked No in Step 12, skip the rest of these steps and continue with Model Your Migration Project. If you clicked Yes in Step 12, continue with the next step.

15. Complete the following tasks:

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

       Migration Wizard will search this container and all subcontainers for matching NDS usernames.

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

    3. Click Next to begin searching for duplicate usernames.

    4. Decide how to handle duplicate usernames.

       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 NetWare 3 user with the displayed NDS user.

       Figure 1
       Merging Your NetWare 3 Users with Duplicate NDS Users
       

       You have the following options for each NetWare 3 user:

       • Merge the NetWare 3 user with the displayed NDS user

         Simply leave the NetWare 3 user displayed as it is in the table and continue with the next user.

       • Merge an NDS user other than the currently displayed 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 NetWare 3 user. Select one of the NDS names and continue with the next NetWare 3 user.

       • Do not merge any of the NDS users with the NetWare 3 user

         If you know that none of the listed NDS users represents the same person as the adjacent NetWare 3 user, click the arrow by the NDS username and then click Don't Merge.

    1. Once you have made a decision for each listed NetWare 3 user, click Finish.

    The NetWare 3 users that you chose to merge with NDS User objects appear automatically as dropped objects in the destination NDS tree.
