[bigstreet]

Hi<br>
I have to start a project to migrate novell 4.11 servers to novell netware 5. If someone can give me some tips and what kind of problems I can expect. Also if there is a tool to migrate 200 servers remotely (different locations)<br>

I would suggest checking ALL the hardware devices on the existing servers for compatibility with NW5. If there is an issue, get a patch file before you start. You may find some devices that will not work correctly.<br>
I had a D-Link NIC that worked fine with NW 4.11 but wouldnt work in NW5.

Yes, check the drivers carefully to make sure you have Netware 5 drivers! On Novells site you will find an accelerated migration tool. It will cut your time in 1/2 on the migration from 4.11 to 5. You will probably want to be local to the boxs when you upgrade them.
