We’re almost done moving from nw65 to sles/oes. Only have 4 nw65 boxes
left, and they should be gone in the next week or two.
Just removed edir from the server that was the CA, SLP, master replica
and time server for my tree for the past 7-10 years…sigh

Understand the feeling. I just finished last Tuesday doing this for a
small school campus. SLES/OES is nice. Unfortunately, now I’m looking
for another job.

Same here… just at the end of the road of our nw65 environment,
closing down sometime in the next month or so.

I haven’t begun the process but it is on the docket. Going through a major
AIX/Oracle upgrade at the moment. Should be completed around September.

We are down to two nw65 servers. Just migrated data/email from one
this last weekend, so it’s just sitting for now. Other one houses our
old gwia, still trying to catch straggler devices using it to send
email that have not been changed to the new gwia.

I have 2 as well. One is still our primary file store, the other is
a VM that acts as a failover in case the main file store goes tango uniform.
For our usage case there really is NO reason, zero, zip, nada to change it.
I assume that someday there will be a serious client issue that will be a
downer which is the only reason I am even pondering the move. In any case,
I’ve waited this long I’m hoping SLES/OES whatever it’s called these days
will be well sorted out by now to make a decent replacement. The whole
OES thing doesn’t give me the warm fuzzies (still unsure of Novell’s
committment to it) so I may replace it with SuSE and
be done with it.

Well… we closed our servers… then 2 min. later the help desk was
completely helpless since they for some reason still used the iManager
to manage users, even though we use AD as our primary directory… Oh
well now it’s up and running again

I’m liking OES 11 so far. Just started putting it into production.
Netware 6.5 until now…so this is my first OES Linux experience. Two
OES 11 servers running at the moment. By next week I should have all
services moved off of my main nw server and I can redeploy the
hardware as another OES 11 server.

I’m getting used to & liking OES linux. We’re a mix of oes2sp3 &
oes11. Went w/ oes2 for many servers as some services would not
migrate from nw65 to oes11. Plus we’re still running gw7, so some
parts of that simply would not install on oes11.

You need to get current GW. I like 8…but as soon as I finish my
current server services migration, I’m going to use the hardware for a
new GW2012 server.

I could be wrong, (what else is new?) but I think that GW 12 is
the best release of GW since well… 6ish? But I haven’t used GW in a
production environment in years so what do I know?

That was part of the reason moving everything to oes linux, in the
budget this fiscal year to move to gw2012.
