Migration to Windows

[Randy Grein]

Every migration I have been involved in (living in Seattle I've done a lot) the decision was made to re-think security on migration. Windows file rights are rather different and unless your rights configuration is close to trivial you are rather likely to get unexpected results with a straightforward mapping between the two. Also it's likely that enough time has passed since initial configuration that the initial configuration isn't what the organization needs now.

Hello Group, 

I have a single 5.1 sp8 server with user accounts and their data on it.
I have user accounts created in active directory for 2003 server but not
synced with Novell accounts.  Today users login to Novell with 4.91
client and them pass-through to active directory with same user ID but
data files reside on novell.  I need to move the data, and groups from
the novell server to the 2003 server.  I like to ensure security groups
for file access is also part of the migration and that file ownership is
maintained.  

What steps should I be following.  Please I like to know. I am sure
others in this group had to face this challenge for some of their sites.
