Unfortunately, what this will probably entail is dissecting each script
and mapping out what scripts apply to which groups, profiles and
containers. As well as deciding if some are outdated or can be
consolidated.

 

Then mapping out what the Windows AD structure will look like and the
associated scripts.

 

We did the same thing during our recent AD cleanup. We first went
through our rather large list of GPOs and got rid of 75% of them. Then
we laid out what GPOs applied to what OUs. Once that was done, we laid
out what the desired AD structure was to look like, as well as the GPOs.
It wasn't a real difficult task, just a bit time consuming.

 

I know this isn't exactly what you're going to be doing but the process
would be similar.

Subject: Migrating Netware Logon Scripts to Windows

 

Has anyone had any experience migrating login scripts from Netware to
Windows?  I have a customer that is asking for assistance in migrating
the scripts.. Since I'm not familiar with Netware, apparently they have
scripts at the container level, profile level and some at a group level.
So any one user can have multiple scripts running.  From what I was
told, if the G drive was mapped with one script it would get overwritten
everytime a script is ran depending on where that user resides in
Directory Services. 

 

So as you can see, it's a pretty complicated setup.. and they are trying
to find a way that is seamless to the user so they won't notice a thing.
I'm sure this isn't the only customer that has faced this issue, so I'm
hoping someone might have some insight on how to attack this issue.

 

Thank you,
