Migration to Windows

[Glenn Collrin]

It sounds like you made new groups and populate those groups with ad
users, and defined rights to files, and set up shares also

This would involve understanding the existing groups in novell and file
individual access and then mimic in ad to best approach

What about file ownership, this was so easy in novell and you could
restrict, it seems Microsoft quota is much to be desired, but can the
file ownership attributes be brought over into ad?

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.
