Title: Migration info needed

There's a migration document that may help here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/sfncd.mspx   For Exchange, you can see a description of the problem that Steve is talking about with "resource mailboxes" and the tool to prevent it here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;274173   Your Win9x clients will need more than just the Active Directory services.  You'll likely have to make some adjustments to the way authentication works in your 2003 domain(s), but test it and see what works for you.     Al From: Steve Shaff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 12:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Migration info needed I am going to through my 2-cents in...   From an AD standpoint, it is relatively straight forward. -But I do not have experience upgrading from Novell. Your 98 clients (may) have a problem connecting to w2k3.  But, you can get around this by install the AD client on the 98 system.   From an Exchange standpoint: Make sure that you do not have multiple mailboxes attached to a single user.  Exchange 2003 does not support this.  This was one of the things that bit us on resource mailboxes (meeting rooms, etc).   Are you considering using third-party tools, such as NetIQ.  It sure made our upgrade a lot easier.   S   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jorge de Almeida Pinto Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 9:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Migration info needed   Hi everyone, I'm looking voor information on the migration of an environment containing: * NT4 domain * Novell NDS incl ZENworks * Exchange 5.5 * Print queues and data on novell servers (on each datacenter) * W9x clients with Novell client   To an environment containing: * W2K3 * AD * E2K3 * Print queues and data on W2K3 servers (centralized in one datacenter!) * ThinXP clients (based on Windows XP Professional) with ICA client * Citrix farm My interest especially goes to get information on how to do the migration of the Novell NDS and the data on Novell servers to W2K3 AD including possible migrationsteps, issues, impossibilities, pitfalls, migrationtools, experiences, etc. All info appreciated!
