Introduction

NTMigrate is a tool that migrates user account information from a

Windows environment to a UNIX environment. You would migrate user
accounts from one environment to the other if you currently have a single
protocol environment (either pure Windows or pure UNIX) and you want
to convert to a multiprotocol environment (supporting both Windows and
UNIX clients). NTMigrate collects user information from a Windows
domain and merges it with an existing UNIX user ID/group ID (UID/GID)
database, either the local UNIX passwd and group files or a NIS server.
This document is part of the VNX information set and is intended for
system administrators responsible for implementing the VNX in a Windows
network.
Topics included are:
◆ System requirements on page 10
◆ User interface choices on page 10
◆ Related information on page 10

Concepts

NTMigrate collects user information from a Windows domain and merges

it with an existing UNIX UID/GID database, either the local UNIX passwd
and group files or an NIS server. You would migrate user accounts from
one environment to the other if you have a single-protocol environment
(either pure Windows or pure UNIX) and need to convert to a
multiprotocol environment (supporting both Windows and UNIX clients).
NTMigrate is best suited for mapping large Windows domains into UNIX
UIDs and GIDs. You should not use NTMigrate if working with a small
environment.
NTMigrate contains two programs:
◆ ntmigrat.exe
◆ ntmiunix.pl
These files work together to convert a Windows NT, Windows 2000, or
Windows Server 2003 user database to UNIX-style user account and group
data files.
The \CifsTools directory on the Celerra Network Server Applications and
Tools CD provides the ntmigrat.exe and ntmiunix.pl files.
Table 2 on page 14 summarizes how ntmigrat.exe and ntmiunix.pl work
to add Windows users to the UNIX database.

Using NTMigrate with VNX 7.1 13

Concepts
Table 2. ntmigrat.exe and ntmiunix.pl
ntmigrat.exe
◆ Runs on a Windows NT,
Windows 2000, or Win-
dows Server 2003 host.
◆ Generates the user ac-
count and group data files
that are needed for the
conversion to UNIX by ntmi-
unix.pl.
Topics included in this chapter are:
◆ ntmigrate.exe on page 15
◆ ntmiunix.pl on page 15
14 Using NTMigrate with VNX 7.1
ntmiunix.pl
◆ Runs on a UNIX host.
◆ Reads the files that ntmi-
grat.exe produced.
◆ Converts the usernames
from the Windows NT,
Windows 2000, or Win-
dows Server 2003 pass-
word database to the UNIX
UID/GID database.
◆ Generates updated UNIX
passwd and group files that
allow Windows users ac-
cess to the VNX. You can
use these updated passwd
and group files on the Data
Movers or to update an
NIS database.
 Concepts

ntmigrate.exe
The ntmigrate.exe program reads the contents of the Windows user database and produces
three text files that contain the Windows account and group data needed for the conversion
to UNIX.

Note: The Windows user database exists in either a Windows NT SAM or Windows Active Directory.

Table 3 on page 15 provides usage notes for ntmigrat.exe.

Table 3. NTMigrate usage notes

Element Notes
Nonprintable characters
◆ All nonprintable characters are
converted to a hexadecimal num-
ber preceded by an escape charac-
ter (=). For example, an account
name in French that contains a
special character set outside the
ASCII printable range is converted
to =2a.
◆ This range of characters is not
converted: 0x21 through 0x7E.

Removing ^M from a file Use a text editor to remove ^M from a

file by typing:
:%s/<cntl>v<cntl>M//g

Generate text files from the Windows account and group data on page 20 provides
instructions for using the program.

ntmiunix.pl
The ntmiunix.pl script does the following:
1. Reads the text files produced by ntmigrat.exe.
2. Reads the UNIX UID/GID files from either the local files or from an NIS database.
3. Compares the user and group accounts from both sources to avoid duplicating existing
mappings.

Note: If ntmiunix.pl script encounters duplicate user or group accounts, it displays the following
warning:

ntmigrate.exe 15
Concepts

***WARNING ***: User "user/group_name" in domain domain_name

already had an account in UNIX, it will be skipped.
4. Produces updategroup and updatepasswd files that contain the converted Windows
user and group accounts.
Because of a problem with the Perl module, you might encounter a problem when running
ntmiunix.pl if the database is larger than 8,000 users. If a problem occurs, run the script on
a Solaris machine.
You can run ntmiunix.pl against either of the targets listed in the following table:

Target Instructions
The Data Mover’s group and passwd files Generate converted account information from local UNIX
UID/GID files on page 20
Note: To use this option, the group and passwd files on the
Data Mover and all UNIX hosts must be synchronized.The
UNIX host must be configured to the same NIS domain as
the Data Mover.

NIS server Generate converted account information from an NIS server

on page 21

Syntax for the ntmiunix.pl script on page 22 provides more information about the options
and arguments for this script.

Configuring

The task to configure NTMigrate is:

◆ Verify the configuration requirements on page 18

Using NTMigrate with VNX 7.1 17

Configuring

Verify the configuration requirements

Before you begin
Do the following before installing and configuring NTMigrate:

Step Action
1. Determine which machines you are going to use to configure NTMigrate:

◆ Windows host (any Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003 system in the domain)
◆ UNIX host (any UNIX system)
◆ NIS server (optional)

2. If moving files by FTP, load and configure FTP software on the UNIX and Windows hosts.

3. Ensure that Perl version 5.003 or later is loaded on the UNIX host.

Managing

The tasks for managing NTMigrate are:

◆ Generate text files from the Windows account and group data on
page 20
◆ Generate converted user and group account information on page 20
◆ Merge the passwd and group files on page 26
◆ Create a remote Windows account on page 27

Using NTMigrate with VNX 7.1 19

Managing

Generate text files from the Windows account and group data
This task is used to create the set of files that contain the information about Windows users
and groups. ntmigrate.exe on page 15 provides more information.

Step Action
1. Log in to the Windows host as a user with Domain Administrator privileges.

2. On the Windows host, create the directory ntmigrate on the C: drive (C:\ntmigrate).

3. Copy ntmigrat.exe from one of these sources to C:/ntmigrate:

◆ For 5.0 and later versions: the /nas/cifs directory on the Control Station
◆ For pre-5.0 versions: the \CifsTools directory on the Celerra Network Server Applications and Tools CD

4. In the directory C:\ntmigrate, run ntmigrat.exe.

ntmigrat.exe generates these files:

◆ domain.txt
◆ ntfile.txt
◆ ntgroup.txt

Generate converted user and group account information

You use the ntmiunix.pl script on a UNIX host to generate converted user and group account
information. Use one of these tasks, depending on the source of the UNIX UID/GID
information:
◆ Generate converted account information from local UNIX UID/GID files on page 20
◆ Generate converted account information from an NIS server on page 21
ntmiunix.pl on page 15 provides more information about the targets on which you can run
ntmiunix.pl.

Generate converted account information from local UNIX UID/GID files

The group and passwd files on the Data Mover and all UNIX hosts must be synchronized.

Step Action
1. On the UNIX host, create the directory /ntmigrate by typing:
$ mkdir /ntmigrate

20 Using NTMigrate with VNX 7.1

 Managing

Step Action
2. Copy ntmiunix.pl from one of these sources to /ntmigrate:

◆ For 5.0 and later versions: the /nas/cifs directory on the Control Station
◆ For pre-5.0 versions: the \CifsTools directory on the VNX Applications and Tools CD

3. Transfer these files, which were generated by ntmigrat.exe, to the directory/ntmigrate on the UNIX host:

◆ domain.txt
◆ ntfile.txt
◆ ntgroup.txt

4. Run the ntmiunix.pl script by using this command syntax:

./ntmiunix.pl -D <GID> -a map -z -p /etc/passwd -g /etc/group -d
where:
<GID> = default GID for Windows users

The ntmiunix.pl script produces the following files:

◆ UNmap.db
◆ domainGID.txt
◆ updategroup
◆ updatepasswd
These files are stored in the directory /ntmigrate/<domain_name>. For example, if the domain name is
"CIFS", the files are placed in the directory /ntmigrate/CIFS.

Note: When local files are used for Windows ID user mapping, the passwd and group files on the UNIX host
must have the same mapping information as the passwd and group files on the Data Mover. Table 4 on page
22 summarizes the syntax for ntmiunix.pl.

Generate converted account information from an NIS server

This task is used to compare the Windows user and group account information with UNIX
UID/GID information in an NIS database.

Step Action
1. On the NIS server or an NIS client, create the directory /ntmigrate, by typing:
$ mkdir /ntmigrate

Generate converted user and group account information 21

Managing

Step Action
2. Copy ntmiunix.pl from one of these sources to /ntmigrate:

◆ For 5.0 and later versions: /nas/cifs on the Control Station

◆ For pre-5.0 versions: \CifsTools on the Celerra Network Server Applications and Tools CD

3. Transfer these files, which were generated by ntmigrat.exe, to the directory/ntmigrate on the UNIX host:

◆ domain.txt
◆ ntfile.txt
◆ ntgroup.txt

4. Run the ntmiunix.pl script by using this command syntax:

$ ./ntmiunix.pl -D <GID> -a map -z -Y -d
where:
<GID> = default GID for Windows users

Table 4 on page 22 summarizes the syntax for ntmiunix.pl.

The ntmiunix.pl script produces the following files:

◆ UNmap.db
◆ domainGID.txt
◆ updategroup
◆ updatepasswd

Note: These files are stored in the directory /ntmigrate/<domain_name>. For example, if the domain name
is CIFS, the files would be in the directory /ntmigrate/CIFS.

Merge the passwd and group files

Before you begin
If the Data Mover’s passwd and group files consist of user and group accounts from different
sources (for example, Usermapper, FTP, Linux, NDMP, and so on), you must manually
merge the updategroup and updatepasswd files with the existing passwd and group files.

Procedure

Use the following procedure to merge the updated files with the existing passwd and group
files on the Data Mover.

Step Action
1. Transfer the updategroup and updatepasswd files to the Control Station.

2. Copy the group and passwd files from the Data Mover to the Control Station by using this command
syntax:
$ server_file <movername> -get group group_dm
$ server_file <movername> -get passwd passwd_dm
where:
<movername> = name of the specified Data Mover

3. Merge passwd and group files to existing passwd and group files by typing:
cat updatepasswd >> passwd_dm cat updategroup >> group_dm

4. Transfer the updated group and passwd files to the Data Mover by using this command syntax:
$ server_file <movername> -put passwd_dm passwd
$ server_file <movername> -put group_dm group
where:
<movername> = name of the specified Data Mover

5. If using NIS, merge the updatepasswd and updategroup files with the passwd and group files on all
NIS servers.

Create a remote Windows account

After the initial mapping, you can set up an account on the UNIX host that allows you to
access the Windows host remotely. To do this, perform the following tasks:
◆ Install ntmigrat.exe on the Windows host on page 27
◆ Set up and run the UNIX remote shell daemon (RSHD) on page 27

Install ntmigrat.exe on the Windows host

Step Action
1. On the Windows host, create the directory ntmigrate on the C: drive (C:\ntmigrate).
Although you can use the domain controller, you should use another machine.

2. Copy ntmigrat.exe from the \CifsTools directory on the Celerra Network Server Applications and
Tools CD to C:\ntmigrate.

3. Log in to the domain and run ntmigrat.exe.

Set up and run the UNIX remote shell daemon (RSHD)

Download and run the RSHD on the Windows host.

Step Action
1. In a web browser, open http://www.denicomp.com.
Download the Winsock RSHD/NT application to the Windows host.
