Create or select a current GroupWise user to use as a migration
account. Be sure that the migration account has Read and Write
permissions on the files and directories in which the post office
and domain are located. The account must be in the same post office
as the user accounts to be migrated. Also make sure each GroupWise
user grants proxy access to this migration account. (The procedure
is somewhat different for GroupWise 4.x and GroupWise 5.x.)
For GroupWise 5.x migrations only, install the Novell
NetWare client for Windows 2000 on the computer running Windows
2000 Server that is performing the migration.
Note The Novell client is
required; Gateway (and Client) Services for NetWare does not work
in this instance.
Install the Novell GroupWise client version
4.x (for migrating GroupWise version 4.x) or
GroupWise version 5.x (for migrating GroupWise version
5.x) on the computer running Windows 2000 Server that is
performing the migration.
Log on to GroupWise using the migration account created
earlier. Again, be sure that the migration account has Read and
Write permissions on the files and proxy permissions on the
mailboxes.
The GroupWise post office must not be accessed by GroupWise
clients, administrator programs, or other agents or gateways during
migration. This means that for GroupWise 5.x , you should
shut down GroupWise Administrative Agent (ADA), Message Transfer
Agent (MTA) and Post Office Agent (POA), and for GroupWise
4.x, you should shut down GroupWise Administrative Server
(ADS), Message Transfer Agent (MTA) and Post Office Server
(OFS).
Stop the services used by Connector for Novell
GroupWise (if you're using it) before migrating user accounts;
otherwise, after the GroupWise accounts have been migrated, they
can be deleted from the GroupWise system during directory
synchronization with Active Directory. You can restart the
connector after you've verified that users and their mail have
migrated successfully.
Run Migration Wizard. Select Migrate from
Novell GroupWise 4.x or Migrate from Novell GroupWise
5.x.
Verify that the migration was completed successfully before
restarting the connector services.
