Move users from GW6.5 System to New GW 7 Sytem on new server
We have a Tree (CBM) with a GW 6.0 System,1 Domain, 1 Po. We hace set a new server with a new NDs Tree (MU) and have loaded a fresh copy of GW 7 with a newsystem name (cbmmail) and 1 Domain and 1 PO. What is the best way of imorting the Gw 6.0 users and resources into the new system. I haven't been able to find any reference for this. Thanks Merge the two systems and then move the users.

Moving Users to a New Volume
running NW6.5 SP2 here. I want to move users from one volume to another volume, eDirectory-wise and also physically moving the user folder structure and files. What would be the easiest way to do this? Thanks!!! Greg R. Shaw, You can use Console One to do the move and then just update the Home Directory Path attribute of the user (if used). There's also some 3rd party tools that lets you do this in one operation if you need to move a bunch of users. MovHome from JRB Utilities, www.jrbsoftware.com comes to mind. IIRC you may also use Novell's Server Consolidation Utility to do it. -- ___________________________________________ Niclas Ekstedt, CNA/CNE/CNS/CLS Network Consultant/NSC Sysop InfraSystems Solutions Greg R.

move volume to new server
I have two servers in the same tree, both are NW6 SP5 with NSS volumes. I would like to move a volume from one server to the other. What is the best way to accomplish this? I could always backup the volume data and trustee info, delete the volume on server A, create a new volume on server B, and restore files and rights. I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this? Thanks, David if the volumes are not on shared storage then yep, that's basically the way to do it. there are a number of ways to actually do the copy, I prefer copying the files across th...

Moving users to new server
Hello, Ok, let's try again. Currently, I have around 80 users on a NW5.0SP6a server (DS version 7.58, Tree=Recherche, Context=Recherche). I have bought a new server and installed an upgraded version of netware to OES (NW6.5SP3, DS version 10552.79, Tree=CRIR-IRM, Context=Recherche) on it. The volumes structure will be identical. I would like to copy my current users to the new server. Is there an EASY way to do that. TIA. Michel Did you put the new server in the same or a different tree? If the later, there's nothing to move except for the user files an...

New Server for User Home
Currently, I have a NetWare 4.2/SP9 (traditional file system) server called UServ1 that is used for users Home directories only. The volume (200Gb) is 90% full. I have just built a new NetWare 6.5/SP2 (NSS volume) server with brand new server-class hardware named UserServ. What is the safest and quickest way to move all of the data from the old server to the new, while preserving all file system rights? My hope is that if the rights are transfered from one box to the other, the only modification I'll have to manually make once the copy is done is to change LOGIN logic ...

Moving Directories to a new server
Here's my situation: I have a new file server. I used UImport to add all of my users to it and create their home directories (which gave them rights to the home directories at the same time). They all have home directories on the old server (the name of each individual home directory is the same on the old server as it is on the new server). I'd like to copy and paste them from the old server to the new one. However, I know that when I do that they will lose their rights to their home directory folder on the new server. Is there a way to do a cut and paste witho...

Moving Users to a new Post Office
Hello, I am planning to move users in five small post offices to a single new Post Office for consolidation. I have read TID# 10067427 and the GroupWise 6.5 Documentation. My POA's have been upgraded since the days of WordPerfect Office 4.0 version by version to what they are today, GW 6.5.2 POA's. They have never had any real DB maintenance with GWCHECK over the years. They function fine, but I'm sure they are not as clean or streamlined as they could be. My question are these: What would be the "best practice" to ensure 207 individual user moves wi...

Move home directories to different server
What is the best way to move users' home directories from NW 5.1/NSS to a new NW 6.5 server? We are doing no hardware migration, the source server remains running, I just need to move the users' data out of it. I tried to use the Novell Server Consolidation Utility to copy few testing directories to a temporary space on new server. It did it right, but how can I do the change of users' home directory entries in eDirectory? There are 4000 user accounts in our network. Is there some tool for such task or any scripts, examples? Thank you. Lukas Kubin I believe one o...

move directory to new volume scmt
Hi, I have a very large NSS data volume on nas device. I have added another NSS volume to the same device and am trying to copy the contents of our GW mail archives over to the new volume (same server) using scmt.

Moving IDM3 to new netware server
I am glad I tried this in testing first because I think I hosed up my server. I am trying to move IDM3 from one netware server to another. The server I want to move it too is in the same Tree and has the needed replicas. What I tried to do first is simply assign the driver set this new server--I kept getting some odd imanager errors. So I abandoned that and simply added the new server to the driver set in Designer and deployed. That didnt seem to work either. What I *thought* was supposed to happen was when I assign the new server to the driver set in imanager I get prompted to co...

How do I acomplish this while retaining all the "special" properties and rights associated with HOME directories? Can I use Ncopy to copy them to the new volume? Will this transfer all ...
