The server out at Shannon-point has been replaced with a NW6.5 server on new hardware. I used the Migration Wizard to complete this migration, and as before I am really impressed with this tool. Back in the NW4.11 days I got the task of migrating a server to new hardware. In those days, pre-PKI, this was doable... if you worked at it. I've lost the TID, but I do remember that the TID itself had 93 steps to follow to ensure the migration of identity worked as planned.
Then I got to do the same thing (on the same server, no less) in NW5.1. By then Novell had released their first Migration Wizard tool, and wow. They automated all of the scut-work, and all you had to do was click things and rotate a few floppies when it came time for the NICI migration.
The NW6.5 version of it doesn't even have the floppy migration bit anymore. I had to be sure I had the right license-files in place so the users could connect once the identity was migrated, but it worked very well.
