Working in Brighton Dec and Jan

So.. I'm taking two NDS Tree's. With one server in each tree. And migrating the NetWare 5 Tree with a PO and the other NetWare 6.0 tree with users and data into the new tree. The new eDir tree consists of two Clustered NetWare 6.5 servers and one OES Linux server. We're using IDM to connect to two Windows 2003 servers with AD, one with SQL. I'm installing GroupWise on the cluster, and ZENworks. I'm using rsync to migrate the data over. I'm using LDAP to export the users out and import the users in with LDIF files.

It's a fun project but a lot of work!

Novell Cluster Services is Awesome!

I'm very impressed with Novell Cluster Services. This is the only way to serve up GroupWise!

Very cool!

Back in Brighton for awhile.

I'm back in Brighton finishing up the cluster and creating some cluster resources. I'm getting more involved in this data / user migration from two older NDS trees into a new combined eDirectory <--> Active Directory Tree connected with IDM3.
This is a project that's going to be going into at least mid December. So.. I'll be here for awhile.

Home Sick!

I caught a nasty respiratory virus on Wednesday and ended up being stuck in bed from Wednesday clear through Sunday. My wife took me to the doctor on Saturday to get some heavy duty antibiotics and other drugs which helped a lot! By Sunday afternoon I was starting to feel up to about 80% normal.

I have a lot of catch up to do this week before the Thanksgiving Holiday!

BTW - I'm really bummed the Broncos lost to San Diego. But it was a great game!

In Brighton

This week I'm at a bank in Brighton, CO setting up a NetWare 6.5 Cluster with two cluster nodes, then placing the GroupWise PO on the cluster.

Lots of fun!

In Tampa Florida

I've been in Tampa Florida at SRI Surgical doing a ZENworks deployment since October 30th. It's been a long two week deal. I'm comin home Saturday Nov 11th.

It's been a lot of fun and ZENworks really rocks!
