Hi, If you have no good reason not to, I would suggest just doing it the regular way. That would be install the identical version on the new server. Transfer the data and the registry info, make sure all is well and then upgrade.
We... did it the other way because I have been upgrading since version 6.x. and wanted to create a clean environment. I installed 2006.2 on the new server, installed everything I needed and then created all the mailboxes. I could do that because I have all the mailboxnames and passwords in a database (the database for our intranet site) and could just use the adduser tool to recreate them. After that I transferred just the mailbox content to the new server and ran the tool to transfer the addresslists to the database. We ran into one problem though that's specific to the non english countries. Special characters like éáüö etc are not yet supported in the new IMail Admin interface. I hope Ipswitch will fix this asap.

But the new Server arrived, and I wonder if the best upgrade path is: A) Install 8.2 in New Server, then migrate users, later upgrade to 2006.2 or B) Install 2006.2 in the new server, then migrate users ( if possible! Where to find the upgrade notes? ). The Old Server, can not support IMIAL 2006 ( Old PIII - 800 512 Mb RAM ) Regards Andres.- To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
