Netware to Windows 2003 Migration

[billc124]

I am working on a project to migrate our Netware 5.1 environment over to Windows Server 2003 and Active Directory. My situation is that most of the step by step tools and things I am finding are setup as if you don't have an AD already in place. I already have my AD in place with all the users setup as we are an Exchange shop this was necessary. All I am looking to do is move my Netware volumes and shares over to Windows and grant the matching permissions. Doing it manually is not an option as I have several thousand folders with different permissions applied. Is there an easy way to do this? I am just looking for some guidance or someone to point me to an article I am missing. I have tried out Quest NDS migrator but that seems much too complicated and I was hoping to do this without spending any or much money. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

OK, so I have a list of all my Netware permissions, I am looking to just make a script that will apply the equivalent permissions once I copy all the files over. There are so many scripts out there, that wading through them all is overwhelming. Does anyone have an example or a site they can point me to with some examples of applying permissions to folders on a windows file server using AD NOT local accounts? I checked out Security Explorer and that seems to be a very useful tool, but there isn't any way to script the permissions, it would make it easier sure, but would take too long for me.
