Re: [IMail Forum] upgrading the server

[Matrosity Hosting]

One of the mistakes I think we made in the beginning was not having a drive exclusive to the spool dir. Would it be good to do the following: c: OS D: imail install with spool e: domains Bill Martin Schaible wrote: Hi Bill, This is not really complicated. I usually setup the new server running the IMail Setup, or in our case, we're using our software distribution. The only thing you should watch: Choose the same application folder for IMail, eg. C:\IMail, C:\Program Files\IMail as the old one and do not add any domains on the new server. After that export from the registry HKLM\Software\ipswitch\IMail\Domains. Stop all IMail related services on the new baby and import the registry. Don't forget to copy all the data from the hosts and the spool directory into the same location on the new server. If you want to keep all settings from the old server, you can export the registry from one level above: HKLM\Software\ipswitch\IMail. If you're deciding to change some directories, you can change it directly in registry. At the end, start the IMail services. ============================================ Am Donnerstag, 13.

Is it best to set it up and move one domain at a time or wholesale?
