SUMMARY
Installing the Directory Services Migration (DSMigrate) tool automatically installs both Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW) and NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol if a NetWare provider/redirector is not already installed on the computer. While you are installing the DSMigrate tool, there is no indication that a NetWare provider/redirector is required or that GSNW and NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol is installed if a NetWare provider/redirector is not already installed. The only indication that GSNW is installed is when you are prompted for a preferred server or default tree and context.

MORE INFORMATION
The DSMigrate tool utilizes GSNW (redirector/provider) and NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol to provide connectivity for the migration of NetWare objects into the Active Directory directory service. The DSMigrate tool does not function if these additional components are not properly installed and running.
