How to assign NTFS permissions to data after a Novell Netware data migration
Hi
I am looking to migrate data from Netware > Windows 2003. Users have been migrated and works fine.
I have 2 options (That I know of)
1. Migrate data using Robocopy and then create a script to re-assign NTFS ACLs mirrored from Netware
2. Use Microsoft Windows Services for NetWare 5.03 tool.
The company has directory sync. In place between AD and Netware using DirXML so all user/groups are populated. This I thought may rule out the option of using option 2 as I have read that you must sync the accounts to create a txt file to use in the file migration stage but it looks like with some work that the text file can be manually created. This option would recreate ACLs within NTFS which would be good news. The other option is to use Robocopy to copy all data over and then to somehow recreate the ACLs either manually which would be a nightmare or by some sort of script.
Are there any scripts are out there to re-create the ACLs as I would be happy with this method?.
Thanks

Shineon - you are correct they should go to the AGUDLP method but they have requested to keep the same structure unfortunatley with tight deadlines.
Alextoft, I think I will follow your method - I initially exported all trustee rights using a Netware tool called 'Trustees' I now have this imported as a CSV file in excel. Do you know how this compares to Trustbar.NLM.
I have managed to separate the information into the following columns - File/Folder location, User/Group, context, Trustee Rights. - Does Trustbar produce the same information?
One last question do you have any examples of the Xcalcs scripting method as this company has rights on individual files and I am hopeing Xcalcs can handle this without too much work from myself!
Thanks
