The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

File Migration from Netware 6.5 to Windows 2003/2008

Asked by andoss in Novell Netware Network Software, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: Novell Netware, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008

We are in the planning stages of migrating our fileserver from Netware 6.5 to Windows Server 2003 or 2008 and i could use some advice on migration tools/methods.

Our Environment - We use Netware purely as our fileserver, already have an Active Directory domain functioning and want to avoid making significant changes to this.
I would like to migrate file/folder permissions if possible but everything i've read discusses migrating the users etc at the same time and these users already exist in AD and are centrally managed by TIM so i don't want to do this.

So my question is are there any software that i can use to migrate these files and maintain permissions considering the users already exist in AD with identical usernames? I've read up on MSDSS and Quest NDS Migrator but both of these start with migrating the Tree structure which as i said i don't want to do for fear of altering our already stable AD Domain.

In the case that I need to do a manual migration scrapping all file permissions I'm really not sure where to even begin? Do I just create a file share on our data disk and copy the folders in applying department permissions, quotas etc manually as i go?
Also recommendations on whether to go with Windows Server 2003 or 2008.

I'm fairly technical just have no knowledge of this and have had it lumped on me.
