Run Migration Wizard

  1. Install NetWare Migration Wizard 6.5 from the products\migrtwzd directory on NetWare 6.5 CD 1 (Operating System).

    Expand the utility and install it on a workstation by double-clicking the migrtwzd.exe file.

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

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

  3. Read the Welcome screen, then click OK.

  4. Click Create a New Project > OK.

  5. Click NetWare 3 to NetWare 4+ > OK.

  6. Click View Online Documentation.

    This launches your default Web browser and takes you to the NetWare Migration Wizard 6.5 online documentation.

  7. Make sure you have completed the system and software requirements in "Meet System and Software Requirements " on page 7, then close your browser.

  8. Click Next.

  9. Name your migration project, select a place to save it, 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 Attached Servers text box. To log in to a server, click Login. When you are finished selecting your servers, click Next.

  11. Select your destination NDS tree, then 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, 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.

  16. To begin searching for duplicate usernames, click Next.

  17. 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.
