I have 3 small servers with one tree name. We are buying a large server and want to move the users from the 3 servers to the one big server and rename the tree. Any ideas on the best way to approach this. I have about 300 users and no applications are served. Running 5.1 sp2 now. I was thinking of building the new server into its own tree name on the same network, then moving users to the new tree. What's the best way?
Thanks in advance...

Install NetWare 5.1 on the new server in a temp tree and a temp name for the server. Next you will migrate that server into your tree, using whichever server you want since all of them will be removed eventurally. I would use the one you want removed firstl remove it for you.

Use the NWDeploy that comes on the Multimedia Kit to check for problems.
Then use Migration Manager 6 that you can get from Novell for the migration.

Remove the other servers followinw the Novell TID for doing so at your own pace.
