Thanks Again!   It went very smoothly!!   Travis   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Doyle Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 4:15 PM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Moving IMail from NT 4.0 to Windows Server 2003   Travis   I did this a few months ago and had no problems. The only thing not brought across that I found was the daily email notification of email sent, received et al. I simply added the postmaster email address and all was well.   I also under steps 8 and 9, I deleted both keys before importing, it's not clear on step 9, but that's what I did and it seemed to work fine.   I did the move in about 20 min. with maybe 4 gig of folder junk.   Be sure to patch both to the same level.   Leave both offline until you test the new one from the console. If it's not working simply plug the old server back on the network. If it works plug the new one onto the network. I felt very safe with the knowledge I could go back to the old one at any time up to the point you go live with the new box.   Enjoy your weekend.     John -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Travis Rabe Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 9:28 AM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: [IMail Forum] Moving IMail from NT 4.0 to Windows Server 2003 Hello All,   I am getting ready to try this this weekend and I am curious if anyone else has anything to add to this article?  I need to find out where to download the full install of the 8.2 install and then I should be set.  I am assuming Ipswitch will help me there.   http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-19980116-JB11.htm   Things I have noted to add to the list:   1.       Disable EDNS on the new server 2.       Make new server same machine name as old server just for the migration, then change it back after it is complete.   When upgrading to 2006 (just spoke to tech support)   1.       Make sure II6 is installed 2.       Make sure .NET Framework 1.1 is installed.   Thanks!   Travis
