Hello Mike,
We did the conversion of Imail, IIS, SQL 7 in about 30 hours but we did
totally clean installs of everything. No show stoppers (except that MS DTC
issue where the answer was in the "Special" Microsoft knowledge base that's
not available to the public).
Ipswitch's first response was to do a registry backup to take the Imail info
to new server but when they found out it was NT4 to Win2K they added some
warnings. There is special MS tool to convert registry. That scared me so
I just did clean install and transferred mailboxes from 2 Imail Databases
and 1 SQL7 Database. I have specific instructions if you decide to go ahead
just ask & I'll post.
David
