have the flexibility to manage from one central location at your corporate offices. Administrators
and users access the features they need through the Internet from a Web browser.
Moving directories, volumes, or users and their associated trustees and rights to a new Branch
Office server is a daunting task made easier by the Server Consolidation Utility. Moving information
with the Server Consolidation Utility is faster and easier than manually entering individual users,
copying files, and manually assigning their rights and trustees on a new Branch Office server.
NOTE: Anytime that a Branch Office server is rebooted, the sys: volume is recreated on the server.
Because of this, the Server Consolidation Utility will not display the sys: volume on Branch Office
servers.
The Server Consolidation Utility works with Novell Branch Office servers in much the same way it
works with NetWare servers. However, there are a few differences in the way the Server
Consolidation Utility runs in relation to Branch Office servers. This section describes the following:

regular NetWare server. The different screens that require navigation are described below.
