FYI: For NDS reporting you can use the following tool (it is free) http://www.geocities.com/wstools/f_nds.html (DSREPORT)
For more info on NDS migrations read the article written by quest (Essential Guide to an NDS to AD Migration -> http://wm.quest.com/reg/marketing/landing/migratingndsad/) Concerning the accounts with the same name (smithj, smithj1, etc.) Do these belong to different persons or to one and the same person? Does every user in the NDS also exist in the NT4 domain with the same login name? #JORGE# -----Original Message----- From: packman To: Jorge de Almeida Pinto Sent: 5/6/2005 8:08 PM Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] SID History Filtering Before I say something I have the following questions for you: * What is the purpose of the Novell environment?

Application Servers (various c/s apps), SQL Servers * What resources are in which environment? I'm not sure what you're asking here. * Is the login name in novell the same as the login name in NT4? It is supposed to be, and I believe 99% of them are. However, when they ran MSDSS, there are instances where they brought over 5 users named smithj and MSDSS then named them to smithj, smithj1, etc. so there are some discrepencies... =( On 5/6/05, Jorge de Almeida Pinto < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: 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?

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 #JORGE# -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: 5/6/2005 4:05 PM 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.
