5. Install MSDSS from the system DomainUtils share.
NOTE: To access MSDSS software, map a network drive to \\Dellxxxxxxx\DomainUtils, where xxxxxxx is
the system's service tag number. For example, if your service tag number is 1234567, type DELL1234567.
You can find the service tag number on the top cover of your NAS system.
6. Log in to the NDS tree or bindery server as administrator.
7. Log in to the appropriate Windows 2000 domain as a member of the Domain Admins group.
8. On the MSDSS server, open the Help files, and then print out the procedures "To perform a one-time migration"
and "To migrate files."
9. Click the Start button, and then point to Programs® Administrative Tools® Directory Synchronization to
start MSDSS.
10. Follow the instructions as described in the Help printout, "To perform a one-time migration." The prompts guide you
through the following steps:
a. Right-click MSDSS in the console tree, and then click New Session to start the New Session Wizard.
b. Specify whether objects are to be copied from NDS or Bindery.
c. Click Migration.
d. If you plan to migrate files as well as directory objects, click the Migrate Files check box.
You must also run the File Migration utility.
e. Specify the path to the Active Directory container in which you want to copy items.
f. Accept the default domain controller in which to store the migration log.
g. Specify the NDS Container or Bindery Container from which to copy items.
h. Provide the name and password of the Novell administrative account.
i. On the Initial Reverse Synchronization page, specify the password options (such as Set passwords to
the user name.)
When you are performing a migration, this page does not include the option to actually perform an initial
reverse synchronization, but it is the page where you specify which password option you want to use.
j. Set synchronization mode to default object mapping or to custom object mapping.
k. If you selected custom object mapping, you are prompted to manually establish one-to-one relationships
between pairs of objects.
l. Click Finish.
After the user accounts are migrated, you can migrate the file system (migrating the users before the files allows you to
migrate file-system permissions). Follow the instructions in the Help printout, "To migrate files." The prompts guide you
through the following steps:
To start the File Migration Utility, click the Start button and point to Programs® Administrative Tools® File
Migration Utility.
To view mapping relationships, click View Maps.
To view mapped access rights for the users, groups, organization units, and organizations to be migrated, click
Access Rights.
The NDS Modify option converts, by default, to Read because it does not have an equivalent NFTS right. You
might want to click the Write check box to allow read/write access.
On the Step 2 — Security Accounts tab, verify that you are logged on with the correct Active Directory, NDS, or
Bindery credentials.
