Summary

Integrating and migrating Novell networks and Windows networks might seem to be a challenging task; however, the Services for NetWare is a great resource for Windows to NetWare inter-connectivity. An organization can choose to simply migrate files, including file permissions, from a Novell server to a Windows server all the way through, completely replacing the Novell server with a Windows server system.

For an organization that wants to create a single sign-on type environment, the Microsoft Directory Synchronization Service, or MSDSS, does the synchronization between Novell and Windows networks. MSDSS also includes the File Migration Wizard that migrates files, file properties, and file permissions from a Novell server to a Windows server.

The combination of all the tools included in Services for NetWare simplifies the task and the process of migrating or integrating Novell and Windows networks together.
