Hi Bill,
MSDSS migration creates a structure of Active Directory objects that
mirrors the migrated Bindery or NDS objects. This enables you to retain
existing Novell structures and use them immediately after you migrate to
Active Directory. MSDSS migration maps Novell user and group objects to
Active Directory user and group objects, and it maps Novell containers to
Active Directory OUs.
However, because Active Directory does not support a container comparable
to the NDS organization and because Active Directory handles security
differently than Novell does, MSDSS-in migration mode only-creates a
corresponding domain local security group in Active Directory for each NDS
OU and organization. MSDSS then maps each Novell OU or organization to the
corresponding Active Directory domain local security group.
Also for migrating files and files access rights migration You can use the
File Migration Utility, part of Services for NetWare, in conjunction with
MSDSS to migrate all or part of your NetWare folders and files to one or
more Windows Server 2003-based file servers. If you migrate files in groups
rather than all files at once, File Migration Utility helps you track the
current status by providing an interim status report that shows which files
have and have not been migrated.
For more information on how to migrate users, groups, and other objects
look at the article from
