Please let me know if you have any questions. All of the work was exhausting but has made my life a million times easier since.
If you are running groupwise, you may want to hire a company to migrate email from groupwise to office 365 or gmail because this was a long and cumbersome task. When users logged in, they saw all of their files, shortcuts and exact user profile settings. The tool joined computers to the domain, and changes the security identifiers on their local user account to match the AD security identified. I then got a few helpers to go around with a user profile migration tool. I got it to the point that when I added a user in a file share security group, they would have access to all of the file shares once I migrated files. I then setup file servers with empty file shares, GPOs to Map file shares and security groups.

This step is necessary to complete before joining computers to the windows domain You will also have to change IP helpers on the core switch if you have multiple VLANs which you most likely do. Be careful, there are quite a few custom DHCP options that need set and users will notice if you mess up. Then I carefully setup DHCP scopes with the NDS options required to find the tree. I built domain controllers first and made all of the DNS records. I was in a similar boat for a school district last year. Probably best to cut over, and do the "export to PST" migration tools mentioned. GroupWise to exchange, that will be messy. IDM (Identity Manager) is also good for this. eDirectory via LDAP works great (we're doing that as well as DSFW) which you could then sync over to AD, or sync your DSFW over. It's only a 2003 forest level, but it will suffice.

If you want to drop a domain in you can install a Novell Directory Services for Windows as a stop gap measure. If you have been migrating off Netware 5/6 you should be on OES now. You need to define what it is you're trying to do specifically and then go from there.Pretty much this. Are you also looking to migrate Groupwise to Exchange? There is no migration from Zenworks to SCCM they are too different. I'd have to check but I bet someone has a migration tool for this. What are you running now? Netware or Open Enterprise server? Do you currently have no domain at all? You could pull all the users out of eDirectory via LDAP and then create them in Active Directory. I still prefer NDS/eDirectory to Active Directory and I haven''t used eDirectory in years. I don't know why people feel Novell is a Dirty word. Other then the usual support and fire fighting. Sometimes the best thing to do in a new position is nothing but listen. Successful change ultimately requires cooperation from your users, you don't want them complaining about "all the new changes" without offering them something that they have been asking for. If you burn up all of the initial good will that comes with your promotion on making changes that cause disruption, but bring no visible improvements to your users, you may unintentionally be setting your self up for long term adversarial relationship. Remember that making any change may well cost political capital and goodwill. It does neither of us any good if I start making changes without making sure they fit with the long term needs of that organization.
One of the first things I do when taking on a new customer (for anything other than break/fix work) is a complete assessment their current situation. Before making plans, I would look at the school system's current IT priorities and budget.
