Title: Migrating access rights from Novell/NDS to W2K3/AD with NDS migrator



It's 
been my dream over ten years that NTFS would get similar permission feature to 
what has been in NetWare all these years. When a user has permissions to a given 
subfolder, it's almost always most logical that this subfolder (automatically or 
implicitly up to the root) would become visible to her. And vice versa, when she 
has no permissions to a subfolder, it would be logical that this subfolder is 
invisible to her.

And it 
has been my dream for six years that the same would apply to AD, as has always 
been with NDS.

While 
we are on the subject, another extremely handy feature of NDS would be most 
welcome in AD. That is, each OU would be a sec prin, so if you want to grant 
permissions to all people in the Sales OU, you wouldn't have to create a 
paraller sec group for that.

Yours, 
Sakari

Isn't that what Access-based Directory Enumeration do? This feature is not
enabled by default in SP1, though. I haven't tried the feature yet so I
can't verify it.

It seems Sakari's dream has come true.

The SP1 docs cover this.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/ov
erview.mspx 
Look at 02_accessenum.doc

AD you could have done this before though (if I understand the ask
correctly) by removing list_contents from the parent, giving explicit
perms to the child and enabling list object mode with the appropriate
mod. For AD, this is old news.

RE: [ActiveDir] Migrating access rights from Novell/NDS to W2K3/AD with NDS migra tor

2005-02-09 Thread Grillenmeier, Guido
Title: Migrating access rights from Novell/NDS to W2K3/AD with NDS migrator



Hey Jorge - I see you've already got a whole list of 
replies with great tips on how to get around this ;-))

Fact is, it'sa well known restriction. 

Sure, NDS migrator could maybe add some more logic to 
figure out the correct permissions you really need, but as there is no real 
match to so many permissions that you have on the Novell FileSystem, 
thisis a tough one for larger and more complex environments truly 
leveraging the Novell OS's capabilities. 

As such I typically didn't use the ACL migration features 
and instead analysed the real security needsof the customer. Then 
I created the permissions as they make sense in NTFS via script. This also 
allows you to leverage inheritance on the NTFS side (as NDS migrator would 
typically just set explicit rights). Makes sense to do set the rights into an 
empy folder structure prior to copyingthe data, so that the files recieve 
the correct permissions.

 "By the way the following really is fun: Let's have a 
file with path U:\DIR1\SUBDIR1\README.TXT (from the example above)... Users that 
have explicit change or read permissions on the file README.TXT can not navigate 
to file with explorer BUT if they insert U:\DIR1\SUBDIR1\README.TXT into the RUN 
dialog box (start menu - run) NOTEPAD opens the 
file."

= that's exactly what the "Bypass traverse checking" 
option is all about = the OS doesn't check permissions on the folders in the 
path, when you enter the full path to a file... (i.e. it 
skips/bybasses the security check... until it has 
traversed all folders and reaches the target 
object...)

/Guido

Hi, 
We are migrating from 
Novell and NT4 (single domain) to Windows 2003/AD. 
We are using Quest NDS 
Migrator to migrate files (INCL. permissions) from Novell File Server to Windows 
2003 file server.
SOURCE 
ENVIRONMENT: * 
Novell File Servers with Novell NDS * Windows NT4 domain * Windows 95/98 clients with the 
Novell client authenticate to the NDS and to the Windows NT4 domain 
TARGET 
ENVIRONMENT: * 
Windows 2003 AD domain * Windows 2003 File servers * ACLs on migrated data are assigned to AD domain local 
groups * AD 
users are members of the AD domain local groups and corresponding NT4 users are 
also members of the AD domain local groups
We are experiencing the 
following issue: 
Take a Novell server 
with with a volume called VOL1 so that the UNC path is \\NOVELLSRV\VOL1 
Beneath VOL1 the 
following directory structure exists: \\NOVELLSRV\VOL1\  
DATA\  
COMMON\ -- no trustees assigned!  
DIR1\ -- no trustees assigned!  
SUBDIR1 -- explicitely assigned trustee = GROUP1
 
SUBDIR2 -- explicitely assigned trustee = GROUP2
 
DIR2\ -- no trustees assigned!  
SUBDIR3 -- explicitely assigned trustee = GROUP3
 
SUBDIR4 -- explicitely assigned trustee = GROUP4
Users have a mapping U: 
to \\NOVELLSRV\VOL1\DATA\COMMON (the contents of COMMON is the 
same as U:) 
USER 1 is a member of 
GROUP1 USER 2

Yes, Access-based Directory Enumeration is just what I described in my dream. 
Thanks to Eric and Jimmy for the clarification. And thanks to Microsoft for 
implementing it. Now my dream list contains only the other features listed in 
the messages from me and Jorge, and a Ferrari and the other usual stuff, of 
course.

About AD. Yes, the List Object mode was there from the beginning, but it is 
manual, while the NDS approach is automatic.

Yours, Sakari

 It seems Sakari's dream has come true.
 
 The SP1 docs cover this.
 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/downloads/servicepa
 cks/sp1/ov
 erview.mspx 
 Look at 02_accessenum.doc
 
 AD you could have done this before though (if I understand the ask
 correctly) by removing list_contents from the parent, giving explicit
 perms to the child and enabling list object mode with the appropriate
 mod. For AD, this is old news.

 Isn't that what Access-based Directory Enumeration do? This feature is
 not
 enabled by default in SP1, though. I haven't tried the 
 feature yet so I
 can't verify it.

 It's been my dream over ten years that NTFS would get similar 
 permission
 feature to what has been in NetWare all these years. When a user has
 permissions to a given subfolder, it's almost always most logical that
 this
 subfolder (automatically or implicitly up to the root) would become
 visible
 to her. And vice versa, when she has no permissions to a subfolder, it
 would
 be logical that this subfolder is invisible to her.
  
 And it has been my dream for six years that the same would 
 apply to AD,
 as
 has always been with NDS.
  
 While we are on the subject, another extremely handy feature of NDS
 would be
 most welcome in AD. That is, each OU would be a sec prin, so 
 if you want
 to
 grant permissions to all people in the Sales OU, you wouldn't have to
 create
 a paraller sec group for that.

   PS.: I'm glad MS is going toward the permissions structure (with
 W2K3 SP1) like Novell has. It is still not perfect, but it's a begin.
 AND
 maybe some day (Windows 2011?) will be able to configure file system
 permissions through AD like that is possible with the NDS. The
 possibility
 of configuring permissions for the file system through GPOs is a nice
 feature but far from perfect. Also any thoughts on this are welcome.

2005-02-09 Thread Dean Wells
I'm compelled to yell on this topic, it just doesn't work.  Implement
something practical comparable to 5-second worth of tweaking NDS rights and
send me the instructions as I've yet to be close to satisfied with the
results of this particular feature.

That said, AD still makes me happy! :)
