After I run this session in Directory Syncronization, I run the File Migration utility and cannot map to the UO that I created. I can create a "shared folder" and map to it, but it cannot find enough disk space to actually migrate the files and comes up with disk space error and then cannot find the network path to the shared folder.
If I try and map to the UO I created, the map button never becomes active -- the shared folder is the only way I can get this to happen.
Any ideas would be helpful. As stated before, I am able to transfer the users and groups from NDS, just cannot get the files to map and migrate.

You can't map files and directories to OU's in AD for file migration. You have to map to NTFS shares. If you're migrating data, you need to have large enough NTFS disk space available to hold the data. If your NetWare volume(s) is/are using compression, that has to be taken into account as well.
It would be easier to help if you mentioned what version/SP of NetWare/eDirectory/NDS you're downgrading from...
We are running NW 6.5/Service Pack 5/Edirectory: 8.73 currently and no, we are not using compression.
We are in the blueprint phase of a system migration on the business side from AS400/BPCS into SAP. On the network side, we are migrating to an Active Directory structure in Windows Server 2003 (don't ask me why- I just work here).
I am setting up a migration on a test system prior to the AD implementation. It has an 80 GB HD so there should be enough NTFS space, I am just unsure of how to migrate the data into NTFS.
I know a lot about Windows Server - just not AD and migration. Is there a utility to migrate into NTFS first or do you do it direct through Windows Server?
If you want to try to translate NWFS/NSS rights into NTFS permissions, you have to have users and groups to map the permissions to, before you migrate the data.
I have no idea what Microsoft's migration tools look like, but I do know that NTFS permissions are ACL-based, and must be assigned on the server holding the NTFS volume, which needs to be able to assign rights to a domain-local group in AD.
Mapping rights across the systems can be quite complex, as NTFS permissions are not part of AD, beyond the SIDs on the ACL for the share/folder/file, and permissions can only be inherited from a group, while NWFS/NSS rights are using the NetWare trustee model and almost any object type can be a filesystem or eDirectory security principal and can figure into rights inheritance.

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
