The document discusses guidelines for migrating from Novell NetWare to Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES2). It recommends analyzing the current environment, planning the new OES2 environment, and preparing the existing environment before migration. The main migration processes discussed are transferring services like file systems, iPrint, and DHCP using the Novell OES2 Migration Toolkit, as well as performing a "Transfer-ID" migration or a step-by-step server migration.
