SUMMARY

Banyan Vines StreetTalk names are mapped to a Windows NT domain controller during an export. The following mappings are the default mappings from a Banyan Vines server to Windows NT server:

   Banyan Vines      Windows NT
   ----------------------------
   Organization      Domain name
   Groups            Global Groups
   Lists             Local Groups
   User Name         User Name

Default group mappings can be customized by changing global groups to local groups and local groups to global groups. Nested lists are controlled by the Migration Tool built-in algorithm called Intelligent List Flattening. The description on how it works is described below.

   Intelligent List Flattening
     Global groups within Local groups are flattened.
     Local groups within Local groups are flattened.
     Wildcards are Flattened.
     Local groups within Global groups are flattened.
     Global groups from a trusted domain within Local groups are not
       flattened.

Banyan Vines user account details are also exported from a Banyan Vines server. User mass editing can be used in the Migration Tools to customize usernames and passwords. The following list is of the default mappings:

   Banyan Vines             Windows NT
   -----------------------------------
   User Name                Full User Name
   Nickname                 User Name
   Description              Comment
   Account Expiration       Account Expiration
