During the past year OIT has been taking steps toward our ultimate migration from Novell to Microsoft’s Active Directory environment for printing and file sharing. This has included a new IBM Storage Area Network, new Dell 2650 servers, and the addition of over 2,000 Windows 2000 and XP desktops to Active Directory.
Throughout the months of June and July all Novell print queues were migrated successfully to Active Directory. In addition during the evening of July 29th all data located on the Novell home volume (i.e. H: Drive) was migrated to Active Directory.
Given the start of semester rush OIT will not be migrating any further data until late in September. We anticipate moving all of the PeopleSoft data (i.e. P: Drive) in late September and all campus shares (i.e. I: Drive) in October. Once the campus shares have been completed the campus will be 100% migrated off of Novell.
