The source server must be configured with OES 2015 or later.
The target server must be configured with OES 2018 SP2.
The source server and target server must join to the same Active Directory domain. For more information on joining to an Active Directory domain, see Installing and Configuring NSS AD Support in the OES 2018 SP2: NSS AD Administration Guide.
During the eDirectory Precheck step, the source server’s files /etc/krb5.conf, /etc/krb5.keytab, /etc/resolv.conf, and /etc/opt/novell/nit/nitd.conf are copied to the target server. In the Repair step, the target server’s krb5.conf, krb5.keytab, resolv.conf files are replaced with the backed up source server files. The target server’s nitd.conf file is merged with the backed up source server’s nitd.conf file.
On successful Transfer ID, the target server will leave the Active Directory domain and the source server computer domain object will be used.
The source server must be configured with OES 2015 or later.
The source server must leave the AD domain. For more information, see --leave-domain in the OES 2018 SP2: NSS AD Administration Guide.
