I think I am going to just install the new server and do a network copy to the new server then I have no need to migrate.<br />
<br />
I am still curious how the new tool works... &nbsp;Do i build a new server and put it in the tree and then do a migration or is it like the old where I have a temp tree and temp server and it migrates files/ trustees and name and powers the old down. &nbsp;

Setup SLES 10 with OES 2 (with evms so i can have NSS)<br />
Setup a NSS volume and works great. &nbsp;<br />
Then instead of a Migration I just did a netware file copy.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

I have a Netware 6.5 file server that holds our shared files. &nbsp;What steps do I have to take to migrate all these files and rights from Netware 6.5 to a new OES 2 server. &nbsp;Is there a tool to use to move one server to another and then down the old server like before? &nbsp;<br />

What is the best practice? &nbsp;

Migrate from Netware 6.5 to OES 2

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.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
