"Server Consolidations," on page 33
Full support for Windows 2000/2003 Server Active Directory migrations is not available in this
release of the toolkit. However, the toolkit does support Windows 2000/2003 as source servers
in specific configurations. If your Windows 2000 or 2003 servers meet the requirements listed
in Section 1.3, "Supported Source and Destination Server Versions," on page
select Windows NT Server (NT Domain) as the source platform.
Select this option if you want to do any of the following:
• Copy data from one or more NetWare source servers to one or more NetWare destination
servers
• Copy data from one or more NetWare source servers to one or more Open Enterprise
Server for Linux servers
• Consolidate one or more NDPS
the same tree
• Migrate an existing NetWare 6.5 iPrint configuration to run in an OES Linux environment
In all server consolidation scenarios, the source and destination servers continue to exist on the
network and retain their original identities.
If you select this option, the Server Consolidation Utility automatically launches. See
"Server Consolidations," on page 33
Select this option if you want to migrate file system data and the NDS/eDirectory database
from an old NetWare server to a new NetWare server. When the migration is complete, the old
server is brought down and the new server assumes its name and IP address on the network.
You can then surplus the old server hardware.
If you select this option, the NetWare Migration Wizard automatically launches. See
"Server Migrations," on page 89
