I am looking at migrating LDAP groups from Netscape into my AD. These
groups are eventually going to be mail enabled for Exchange 2003 dist
groups. What is the easiest approach and tools to acomplish this? Any
help is appreciated.

I did this once and it was not easy. At first I thought this would be no
problem as LDAP is a standard so I could just export the users from Netscape
and then use ldifde to import them to AD but I was wrong. The format of the
two directories is incompatible. What I ended up doing was taking an export
from Netscape and jiggling the output around in a spreadsheet to get an AD
friendly format. Then I could use ldifde to do the import.
This wasn't a very glamorous method but it worked although I imagine there
is a more formal solution available.
