NDS Migrator

Migrate Novell Directory Services to Active Directory

NDS Migrator is a comprehensive solution that accelerates and simplifies migrations from Novell Directory Services to Active Directory. The NDS Migrator central console enables access to all options, both pre- and post-migration, as well as scheduling. NDS Migrator provides a native view of both your NDS and Active Directory tree for better planning. From complete account, group and organizational unit (OU) migration to file and directory migration and synchronization, NDS Migrator has you covered.

Features

  • Object Selection and Migration - Select source NDS OU containers, including the user and group objects, and then point these to a target destination in Active Directory. Correlations between source objects and target objects are stored and used to updated permissions on resources.
  • Data Selection and Migration - Select files and directories from one or more NDS volumes and then the target locations for data on a Windows file server or a Network Appliance Filer. When the data is copied, the NDS permissions are translated and applied to the Active Directory permissions based on the correlations defined during the object migration.
  • Automatic Resource Updating – Automatically update end-user profiles, group membership, NTFS permissions, drive mappings, desktop shortcuts and server-side OLE links in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files.
  • Automated Migration of Accounts/Groups to Active Directory – Change naming conventions and reconfigure organizational unit distribution of accounts, as well as include group memberships and ongoing group member sync.
  • Pre-Migration Mapping and Planning – Create mapping between organizational units and objects
  • Simplify Migration of Organizational Unit Structure to Active Directory – Recreate the hierarchical NDS structure or flatten as you migrate.
  • Secure Migration of Data to Windows Server – Translate file system security and file/folder permissions and synchronize changes.
