Before you upgrade rebuilt the post offices and domains or do at least a validate of the databases. If you are not really experienced I recommend to purchase the caledonia upgrade guide. -- Cheers, Edward ...

Upgrade 5.5.5 to 6.5
I'm wondering if I can upgrade my whole backend (MTA & POA's) and then gradually (pick and choose) which clients I want to switch over to the new 6.5 client. Can I do this ? Caledonia's "GW 6.5 Upgrade Guide" says yes, but to watch out for 1) the renamed Sent Items folder and 2) D109 errors opening mail. Has anyone got the #2) error and is it very prominent ? David Schryer SOLGEN You can. The D109 error can happen from time to time. -- Timothy Leerhoff Principal Consultant Independant Experts Novell Support Forums Volenteer Sys...

upgrade 5.5.04 to 5.5.05
I have build 1982 of 5.5.04 installed and tried to install 5.5.05 over this since there were a lot of bug-fixes. After installation had finished I notised that the installation had not replaced any files. I suspect the reason is that build 1982 of 5.5.04 has newer date (sep. 7. 99) than 5.5.05 (july 22. 99). What is the best version for me to use? If 5.5.05. is the best version, how should i upgrade? Thanks in advance, Lars Yes this is true - we look at file dates Please backup your software, then install 5.5.04 off your CD, then install 5.5.05 patch Lars Inge ...

Upgrading from 5.5.00 to 5.5.04
Greetings everyone I currently have the dubious honour of looking into upgrading our 5.5.00 database to 5.5.04 (the comments I have read in this ng regarding ASA 6 lead me to believe that a greater leap is too dangerous at this time). Our only previous experience of upgrading the database was a move from 5.0.02 to 5.5.00 which resulted in breaking our accounting module leading to numerous fixes and costly retesting. The breakages were mainly due to behavioural changes of the ODBC driver (e.g. in stored procs - not using the result clause for the column names and types for backward ...

5.5.4 client with 5.5.5 xla's
Is it possible to run the 5.5.4 client with xla's from 5.5.5? We are running Win and Office XP and cannot use the 5.5.5 client due to issues with workflow. Can the 5.5.5 xla's be used and will they integrate better with Excel than the 5.5.4 ones? I don't think the XLA actually changed. -- Michael J.

5.5.03 OR 5.5.04 ?
I've just installed the 5.5.04 maint release. On opening my database (created in 5.5), its properties state that the version is 5.5.03.

5.5.03 or 5.5.04??
I hope this has not been asked to death? But I will be upgrading our test system from 5.5.02 build 1495 to either 5.5.03 or 5.5.04. First is there anything in 03 that is not included in 04? Second, are there any known problems with 04?

Upgrading 5.5 to 6.5
I am planning on upgrading our network (NW5.0, GW5.5) to SBS6.5 including a new server earmarked (initially) for email. I do not want my users to lose email during the upgrade and want to know the best way to move them from the old server to the new server. My plan is to install the new (SBS) server onto the existing 5.0 network and include GW6.5 on it as a second post office. The new PO will include GWIA and all of the agents. Since there are only 20 mailboxes, I was going to move them manually to the new PO. Are they any pitfalls to doing this? I have seen some traffic about prob...

Upgrade to 6.5 from 5.5
I have a GW 5.5 domain that I am upgrading. I've read the docs and it says to upgrade the primary domain first, then secondary domains. What is a secondary domain? I have one domain, and one "External Groupwise", is that the same thing? And more importantly, can I upgrade my domain and leave the other alone and have them still communicate peacefully? Thanks! One of the nice things about GW is that you do not have to pay for the server side of the software. This means that you can have as many domains and post offices as you need for your system with...

upgrading to GW6.5 from 5.5
Is it recommended to have two domains before upgrading to 6.5? Setup one as the primary and another as secondary. Any good TIDs on doing this? The Domain is the first piece I need to upgrade right? One or two domains are up to you. I normally setup 2 if I have more than one server running GW agents I install a secondary domain on it. Yes you start at the PRIMARY domain to do an upgrade.

5.5.4 to 6.5 and More?
Please advise me to which order would be safest. Goal: Upgrade Server Hardware, Upgrade NW 4.11 to Netware 6.0, Upgrade Groupwise 5.5.4 to 6.5 (it has Domain,One POA, MTA, SMTP, and GWIA) My thought was to: 1. Get NW6.0 up and running on the new Box. 2. Migrate 5.5.4 to the new Box. 3. Upgrade 5.5.4 to 6.5 4. Upgrade the client software. Anybody have a better or safer idea?
