Hello,
This is my first ever post on Unix anything
. I really am a total newb when it comes to Unix. I am fairly well versed in the Windows world though.
I have a project that I was pulled into which consists on migrating our Unix servers from authenticating with NIS, over to authenticating with Active Directory (company audit policy). All of the users already have user IDs in active directory for separate Windows accounts. There are over a 1000 users that we will have to migrate.
The main issue is that there are a lot of folder/files on these servers that are access controlled by NIS and when we migrate, we would need these controlled by AD (I believe). I'm sure that there are a ton of groups and files that would need this migration applied to them. What is the best way to go about this?
Some one threw out the option to use UNAB to help us out. What do you think about this tool? Is there others that would do a better job? Is there better ways to go about the whole thing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
