Thanks...will pass on to the GW folks...
1. Yes. When a GW account is deleted, the delete comes into Exchange at the
next dirsync cycle (we run one nightly at 11PM). Crank up logging in the
connector and look for the delete. WARNING - be very careful about doing a
full reload from Exchn to GW...can be time consuming (althoug we're in the
25000+ user and 60+gw PO world here)
2. No, you only need one connector - we've got one from the Primary GW
domain into our HUB exchange site and then Exchange Dir Rep handles the rest
w.in Exchange and GW updates itself pretty well...you will need to install
the GW addressing component into all sites however...

Subject: RE: GroupWise Migration Question
Our Groupwise 5.5 guy ran off check and it gave out all the info he needed I
wonder if possible its different for GW5.2, have you browsed
http://www.novellshareware.com for a utility they have lots of good tools
for the Novell people, I found a really neat GW user generation tool their.
After we got the API gateway set up (what a pain) and the Groupwise
connector on Exchange 5.5 so all the custom recipients were flowing into
exchange we ran the tool to monitor the api, we made like 5000 users and it
only took like 5 minutes to push them all over to exchange it ran pretty
smooth, I got a few questions maybe you could answer since your doing this:
1- If I delete a mail box object for a user from GW does it remove the
custom recipient from exchange?? I dont think it is for us..
2- I have 7 GW postoffices, 1 at each branch office and then the Main domain
at corporate, I am going to install an exchange server at each branch office
in its own site, do I need to again set up an api and groupwise connector or
will the one connector at corporate be sufficient??
Thanks, I will ask my novell gurus to browse around for a tool, they love
utilities

Just an idea but have you ever attempted using the outlook plugin for
GroupWise to save their GW mailbox as a PST? and then re-import into
Exchange

We are using exactly what you described - we are going from GW 5.2 though -
setup the GW API, an Exchange server to connect to it and have had virtually
no problems w. the connector or during migrations. Just need to delete the
CR for the GW object prior to creating the new mailbox so you can assign the
new mailbox the GW mailing address for the migration to work successfully.
Our GW guy has tried the GW Off Check tools and they do not work as
advertised. We do not migrate by an entire postoffice, so we need info by
user. When we compare the info out of GW Check w. what is really pulled out
of GW by looking at the migration files, they are not even close.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Steve

What tools did you use to migrate from Exchange 5.5 to Groupwise , I am
working on a similiar project, Groupwise 5.5 to exchange 5.5 on Win2k Member
server in an NT4 domain, I have been using the Exchange Groupwise connector
which comes on Exchange 5.5 sp3, my idea is to get the 2 directories syncd
and talking and then migrate them with the Migration Wizard, how are you
doing this ?? Are you using a 3rd party utility?? to check your users on
groupwise mail box size use the Groupwise Off Check tools it will report all
the information about your users

Subject: GroupWise Migration Question
We've been migrating quite successfully from GropuWise 5.2 to Exchange for
about 2 months so far. We've got about 7000 more to go and have hit one
issue that is slowing us down a bit. We are trying to find a way to
determine the size of the GroupWise users' mailboxes prior to the migration
so we can determine how long it will take to migrate the data.
Anyone ever heard of a tool that can do this?
Thanks
Steve
