list of problems when changing from Novell to 2000 1

[HebieBug]

Have spent the weekend bringing a Novell 4.1 server to new 2000.
Workstations have been upgraded to 2000 proffessional and are logging into the domain domain.knights.com.
Have included policy's and login scripts...
Problems that we encounted
1) Drives in loggin script will not map but there Home (personnel) directory will map. If I run the login script manually after startup it works fine. It seemed like the path that I'm specifying is incorrect but it's absolutly fine.
2) Users have very little rights on there desktop they can create folders files but can't add network connections even though there policy has no restrictions
Anyone with some ideas?

For your first question:
could you give us some details on your login script?


For your second question:

You should assign local Administrator rights to your Clients

The easiest way to do this is to open the LOCAL administrator Group and add your DOMAIN user there. This is something not quite obvious from the user manager. Lets say for example your username is hebiebug and your domainname is domain.knights.com. On your Workstation (which is not in the domain after installation) you would say hebiebug is your primary user and assign admin rights to him. Now you would join the domain. What happens now is that you will get a second account / Profile created which is named hebiebug.domain.knights.com. Now if you log into your domain with the username hebiebug you will be logged in as hebiebug.domain.knights.com. BUT this is not the LOCAL hebiebug account which would have admin rights. So you'll only have the regular user rights with your domain account unless you specificaly put it into your local admin group.

The login script was something to the effect of
net use t: /delete /yes
net use q: \delete /yes
net use t: \\kingarthur\general /yes
net use q: \\kingarthur\sys

the profiles sounds right only thing that came to mind was what if the users are loginging into different machines... Stepping into roaming profiles

Hi HebieBug,

You have migrated from Netware to Win2k. Did you restore the backups from netware to win2k. We have an archive of netware backups, and I need to know how to transfer them to win 2k, so that we can free up the server. Any ideas?
