Hi,In the coming weeks I'm going to be migrating our file storage data from a novell netware 6.5 server to a windows 2003 server...basically for financial reasons.
And I feel netware and microsoft are moving to far apart and it just doesnt run as smoothly as it used to...
My question is what would be the easiest way to do this as far as recreating the logon script and managing permissions on existing folders?
I understand that I will have to reconfigure/identify all of my permissions on all folders (pain in the ass)
Basically an easy way to map and manage network drives using windows server 2003 or perhaps another OS??? SMS?? I have never used it but I have a copy....I would install it at home but not enough machines...and none to borrow from work or use at work.
But really all I am after is an easy way to map and manage these network drives i mean if I have to use some vb script thats ok I guess but just wondering if anyone else has any ideas???
Even a link to a good vbs script for mapping windows drives would be handy???
Also ideas and opinions on migrating from novell to windows would be good aswell..
My current login script under Novell:
