[. . . ] The Server Consolidation Utility does not support the copying of NTFS encrypted files from Windows 2000/2003 servers. You must unencrypt the files before copying them to NetWare or Linux destination servers. If so, you must reassign any trusted domain permissions to the appropriate Windows users and groups after the migration is complete. Use ConsoleOne® to reassign all lost trusted domain permissions. What will I do with applications that do not run on Open Enterprise Server?The Server Consolidation Utility does not migrate applications. After the migration, you will have to reinstall your applications on the destination server. If you have some applications that do not run on OES Linux or NetWare, you can keep a Windows server intact and use it as an application server. If you are migrating data to from Windows to an OES Linux server, review the additional requirements and considerations in Chapter 8, "Consolidating Data to OES Linux, " on page 73. 7. 2 Meet System and Software Requirements The Server Consolidation Utility is launched from the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit, which runs on a Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional Edition workstation or on a Windows 2000/2003 server. 64 Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit Administration Guide NOTE: Although the Server Consolidation Utility lets you consolidate data from Windows NT servers, you cannot run the utility on Windows NT because the Novell ClientTM software no longer supports Windows NT. See "Workstation Requirements" on page 35 for more information about system and software requirements for running the Server Consolidation Utility. 7. 3 Perform Prerequisite Tasks Perform the tasks in this section before you run the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit. 7. 3. 1 Create a Template Object The first prerequisite task is to determine whether you want to use a Template object to migrate your NT users to the destination eDirectory tree. A Template object defines additional eDirectory User attributes for NT users during the migration. We recommend that you use a Template object because it is an organized way to migrate your NT users to the eDirectory tree and manage them after they are there. IMPORTANT: In order to migrate home directories, you must use a Template object. If there is a conflict between the properties of a Template object and an NT policy, 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 user Jeff in an NT policy 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 eDirectory with a password length of nine characters. If you want to know what additional eDirectory 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 Windows user object is always migrated and these 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. 7. 3. 2 Register the Workstation Make sure that the workstation running the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit is registered within the domain that you want to migrate. If it is registered properly, continue with Section 7. 4, "Launch Server Consolidation Utility and Create a Project File, " on page 66. If you want to change the domain that your workstation is registered in, do the following. 1 At the workstation, right-click My Network Places and then select Properties. 2 Select the Network Identification link.

When using either the Server Consolidation Utility or the NetWare Migration Wizard, data between the source and destination servers is sent over a plain-text tunnel. In a secure environment, the source server, destination server, and client workstation should be attached to the same physical network segment with no connectivity outside of the internal network. 14. 2 Server Consolidation Utility Security Standard security algorithms and well-established obfuscation methods are used in the Novell Server Consolidation Utility to protect the privacy of administrator passwords.
