ABSTRACT:
A system and method for automating the migration of configuration settings and data from computer systems running the LINUX operating system to computer systems running the WINDOWS operating system. The invention utilizes data from one or more sources to create the configuration of the target system, and translates between settings related to the LINUX systems and WINDOWS systems involved. As a result, it simplifies the otherwise complex and time-consuming task of migrating from one server to another, specifically when migrating between two operating systems that provide similar functionality but are configured in distinctly different ways.
