Features and Benefits

	Object Selection and Migration - Object selection involves selecting source NDS OU containers, including the user and group objects, and then pointing 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 - Data selection involves selecting files and directories from one or more NDS volumes. The target locations for data are then selected on a Windows file server. Data can also be migrated to 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.
	ZeroIMPACT on Users and Help Desk - NDS Migrator helps ensure a ZeroIMPACT migration by automating updates of end-user desktops so profiles, mapped drives, desktop shortcuts and server-side OLE links continue to function during and after the migration. It also provides clean-up options, such as removal of the Novell Client from end-user desktops. Administrators need not visit each workstation and users will need no assistance from the help desk.

	Pre-Migration Mapping and Planning – Create mapping between organizational units and objects		Automated Migration of Accounts/Groups to Active Directory – Change naming conventions and reconfigure organizational unit distribution of accounts. Include group memberships and ongoing group members sync
	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
	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
