NetWare to Windows 2000 Server Migration Planning Guide
You will want to read about the File Migration Utility which is an add-on utility included in Services for NetWare 5 that provides a central management console to automatically manage the migration of files from NetWare file and print servers to Windows 2000 Servers. The utility will maintain security settings from the Netware server to the Windows 2000 server by preserving the permissions and ACLs associated with each file.
Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services MSDSS can be used to establish synchronization between the Windows and Novell directories or to migrate directory objects from NDS or Bindery to Active Directory.
Another alternative in a mixed environment is File and Print Services for Netware which allows a Windows 2000 server to emulate a Netware 3.12 server.
