Novell Doc: Novell Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit Administration Guide - Supported Source and Destination Server Versions

1.3 Supported Source and Destination Server Versions

The utilities included in this release of the Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit support the source and destination server configurations listed below. These minimum server versions, and all newer versions, have been tested and are supported by Novell. Older server versions might work, but they have not been tested with this release of the toolkit. Novell recommends that all servers be updated to the latest Support Pack before attempting a consolidation or migration.

Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit does not support eDirectory 8.8. If you want to upgrade to eDirectory 8.8, perform migration or consolidation first, then upgrade the newly-migrated servers to eDirectory 8.8.

The following NetWare and Windows configurations have been tested as source and destination servers with Server Consolidation Utility 4.2.

Windows 2003 Server SP1	Domain functional level must be Windows 2000 Mixed Mode.

IMPORTANT:Full support for Windows 2000/2003 Server Active Directory migrations is not available in the toolkit. The toolkit uses the Mixed Mode domain levels to access an Active Directory domain as if it were a flat NT domain. You will not be able to access certain aspects of Active Directory, such as trust relationships.
