I read the post from the other guys and I understand you also have a Novell
environment and it is not that simple if you're migrating from Novell and
NT4 to AD. For this you also need two migration tools.

Before I say something I have the following questions for you:
* What is the purpose of the Novell environment? What is it used for?
(software distribution, file and print services, etc.)
* What is the purpose of the NT4 environment? What is it used for? (software
distribution, file and print services, applications like SQL, etc.)
* What resources are in which environment?
* Is the login name in novell the same as the login name in NT4?

I have done such migrations and your plan depends on how your current
environment is used.

Most of the times Novell is used for file and print services and software
distribution (zenworks) and NT4 is used for application services like SQL
and others

Subject: [ActiveDir] SID History Filtering

I'm working at a client with what I think is a unique set of
circumstances.
Instead of upgrading their existing NT 4.0 Domain to AD, they instead,
created a new AD structure and left the NT 4.0 Domain in production.
Almost all of the users are still logging into the 4.0 domain (4d)
still, due to the fact that their resources are still in that domain.
My role in all this is getting the servers in 4d moved to AD without
causing disruption to those users.  All of the 4d ID's were pulled into
the AD structure.  Someone mentioned to me that we could use SID History
filtering, and in on fail swoop, move all the 4d servers over to AD,
less the DC's and everything should still work with the users logging in
to 4d.  Is this the case?
