Check out <http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/Migration.html#MacOS>; there's a link to the SIMS extractor utility. > Can I run both servers simultaneously until all users are migrated? is > this even necessary? It's possible, but not IMO necessary unless you have a LOT of accounts. The switchover should be darn near painless. > Is there a way to quickly "switch" all users to the new server? You mean set up the client machines to check the new server? It's as simple as changing the DNS entry-- just make sure the users aren't leaving POP messages on the server. > I'm sure some of this will involve some DNS changes on my end that may be > a bit OT for this group, so feel free to discuss that "off-line" via my > personal e-mail. -- Dave Pooser Manager of Information Services Alford Media http://www.alfordmedia.com ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
