UPGRADING NETWARE NDS ENVIRONMENTS: OPTIONS AND BUSINESS VALUE
by Ed Rashbrooke
During the past few years, many organizations have been actively
examining the value provided by the directory services on their legacy

capabilities are based on Novell systems. This paper looks at the

supporting them, and provides our view of best practices for a
successful migration.
