We are going to slide from Netware - Windows 2000 mode network to Active Directory only base. I would like to know if is there a way to migrate all my NDS objects to AD ? I know that NT 4.0 has these feature but beside moving all to NT 4.0 and then upgrade to DC 2000, is there other way to do this ?...

Service for NetWare 5.0 is a great way to work your way from NDS to AD. It includes a dir syn tool to keep object in both directories synch'd and slowly migrate to AD. It's around $200 for a copy.

This won't answer your question, but...

WHY?

You're going to regret this move, although I suspect the pointy haired management is forcing it on you.

Indeed so... I am CNE myself and I love to work with NDS but the changes in the network infrastructure force us to do so..

Or perhaps they will have a need to use Exchange 2000 or ISA server or any new Microsoft product that will require active directory. Dont get me wrong, NDS rocks but I wouldnt be surprised to see Novel hit the skids and honestly if you are looking to any microsoft products that are new, you have to use active directory. So much for the pointy headed managers.

Novell has E-Directory which is kinda like NDS-4-NT this will allow you to create users through Novell, but it is time intensive and is not supported by Microsoft, but it works.
