RE: [IMail Forum] Moving Imail from C:\ to D;\

[Don Weber]

the method i used was   export the imail registry edit the resulting export file, changing all occurrences of c:\imail to d:\imail stop all Imail services delete the imail reg key copy the Imail directory TO ANOTHER system uninstall Imail delete the imail directory Install Imail making sure to use the new Imail directory location, it will likely try to install to the old location during the install choose yes for overwriting everything if it asks create just any user or just root, and name the domain appropriately, this will be overwritten when you import the reg file I think. at the end of the install, choose NOT to start any services import the edited version of the Imail reg key using regedit, review the Imail key, delete anything that was just added by the new installation copy the Imail directory from the other system, to the new location, overwriting all files install all hotfixes start imail admin go to each domain listed, there is a location for Imail User Directory, is likley currently, c:\imail\users , dependant upon how your domains are configured, change this to reflect the d:\ drive for each domain u have start the necessary imail services   i'd suggest doing this on a test environment, which is what i did, and everything worked perfectly, I was actually making a multitude of changes, to include, changing the server entirely, change of IP addresses as well as the drive location for Imail, editing the exported registry file, made most of it easy. good luck, i hope i got the procedure correct, i'm going from memory, so hopefully all the steps are correct, still, try on test system first.   Don    -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Kahn - Lists Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 2:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Moving Imail from C:\ to D;\ From my experience, all I can say is don't try to just set everything that says c: to d:.  It doesn't work.  When we did this, iMail was still putting some emails & user settings (seemingly at random) on c: even though c: was not mentioned ANYWERE in the imail setup.   So yeah, I'd suggest un-installing and re-installing imail.   -Mark   ----- Original Message ----- From: Dominic Maraglia To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 4:42 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] Moving Imail from C:\ to D;\ Hell,   We are running Imail 6.04 on a win2k box.  We will need to move the entire Imail installation from c:\ to d:\.    What would be the best method to accomplish this task?   From what I have read in the Imail docs, this sounds like the preferred method:   Uninstall Imail, but do not delete the the contents of \Imail   Reinstall Imail to the new drive, copy the \Imail directory over to the new drive     Any comments, suggests, warnings?!   Thanks Dominic
