Migration wizard is designed to pick up all of the pieces of one server, and plop them down onto a newer faster server and keep the identity and other features of the original server. Example.. Server54 is running on a PII-350, you want to put it on a new P43-87Ghz system with 40billion terabytes of room. But you don't want to have to change the name of the server or reassign all the permissions. This is the tool to use.
Consolidation Wizard is intended to take files, printers, etc from several places and move them to another location. the idea is that it will retain all file rights and trustee assignments. For example.. You have 45 old servers and want to consolidate the storage space onto 5 newer faster servers. This will help you manage the process of consolidating the stuff.
