Workstation Requirements


Source Server Requirements

The source server is the existing server that contains the data that will be copied to the destination NDS tree.


Destination Tree and Server Requirements

The destination NDS tree is the NDS tree that contains the servers that will receive the data migrated from the NetWare 3 source server. After data is copied from the source server, it appears in the destination NDS tree.

Make sure that all the servers that you are migrating data to in the destination NDS tree have the following:

Creating a Template Object

This is an optional prerequisite task. A Template object is used to define additional NDS user attributes to NetWare 3 users during the migration. We recommend that you use a Template object because it is an organized way to migrate your NetWare 3 users to the NDS tree and manage them after they are there.

If there is a conflict between the properties of a Template object and properties of a NetWare 3 user, the properties of the Template object will, in most cases, take priority. For example, if a minimum password length of seven characters is specified for the NetWare 3 user, Jeff, and a minimum password length of nine characters is specified in the Template object, then when Jeff's object is migrated, the object will be created in NDS with a password length of nine characters.

If you want to know what additional NDS attributes can be defined in a Template object, run ConsoleOne and double-click a Template object to view all of the existing properties.

The last name, full name, and description of every NetWare 3 object are always migrated, and their corresponding properties from the Template object are overwritten.

If you decide to use a Template object, you can create one in ConsoleOne by clicking File > New > Object > Template.
