migRemote - the online migration service

Migration from Novell File Server to Microsoft *

The offer is aimed at customers who are planning to migrate their file server from Novell to Microsoft and want to do so quickly with a short lead time. Since we have the necessary practical experience from many successful migration projects that we have carried out with our customers on site, we can now also offer this service to you as a resource-saving remote service package to some extent.

Please note: This type of implementation can only be offered for smaller projects with up to 500 moving accounts. It is also a prerequisite that the user accounts have already been created in the target domain.

The package includes the following services:

  • Part 1: Non-binding preliminary talk
  • Part 2: Planning talk
  • Part 3: Implementation Date
1) Im non-binding preliminary talk With one of our experienced consultants, we first clarify the general project parameters, your general ideas and the expected effort. On this basis, you will receive a binding offer for your migration project at short notice, which will usually include around 1,5 - 3,0 man-days plus the required migRaven licenses.
2) In the planning talk As part of a Telko / Skype session, we will individually plan the desired migration and the desired target structure on the new system. It should also be considered a possibly desired adaptation of the naming conventions in the user name.
If required, additional advice regarding structural concepts as well as cleanup and archiving strategies can be commissioned and carried out prior to step 3.
3) In the Implementation session First of all, in a test environment (sandbox), together with you, you will create all necessary authorizations and target directories for the target system and then implement them after final testing and approval by you.

We use the intelligent conversion of the Novell Trustees (trustee.xml) with the help of our software migRaven. As a result, a new naming convention can now be implemented during the migration since migRaven has an intelligent user mapping.

In addition to the structures and authorizations, the data from Novell is finally transferred to the target system.

* Supported target systems: DFS, Netapp, EMC and, of course, Windows Server on Microsoft.
