12d Decide what you want to do with Windows users that have the same name as eDirectory
users.
You have the following options for each listed Windows user:
• Merge the Windows user with the displayed eDirectory user. Simply leave that user
as it is displayed in the table and continue with the next listed Windows user.
• Merge a Windows user with a different eDirectory user. Click the arrow by the
eDirectory username to view a drop-down list containing all the eDirectory users that
have the same username (including contexts) as this Windows user. Select one of the
eDirectory names and continue with the next listed Windows user.
• Do not merge the Windows user with any of the matching eDirectory users. Click the
arrow by the eDirectory username to view a drop-down list, then select Don't Merge.
Select this option only if you know that none of the listed eDirectory users represents
the same person as the adjacent Windows user.
12e After you have made a decision for each listed Windows user, click Finish.
The Project Window will now appear and the Windows users that you chose to merge with
eDirectory User objects appear automatically as dropped objects in the destination
eDirectory tree.

7.5 Model Your Consolidation Project

Most of your work will be done in the Project Window, where you can drag-and-drop Windows User
and Group objects into eDirectory containers, and Windows server folders into any volume or folder
in the destination eDirectory tree.
The Project Window is a place to model different migration scenarios before you begin the actual
migration without affecting your Windows domain or your destination eDirectory tree. All of the
planning in the Project Window is done offline, meaning that items moved and created in the Project
Window are not actually moved or created until you begin the migration.
TIP: For information on shared Windows folders that end with a dollar sign ($), click anywhere on
your Windows desktop, press F1, click the Index tab, then type $shares in the keyword text field.
