RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail
Probably not too many GW to Exchange migrators out there but I thought I would report what the problem was.

RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail
Should be quite possible. The Exchange Migration Tool allows you quite a bit of flexibility. You can do a one-step migration, and migrate the contents directly to their Exchange mailbox, or you can do a two-step migration. If you just want the contents in a .pst, then you need to do the two-step. First, you extract the information from Groupwise. The extraction will create temp files. Once the extraction is done, re-run the wizard and select to create a .pst file. Can't remember the exact option, and I don't have the wizard fired up at the moment. I've done it before though, so I know it will work. You have to make sure that the account you are using has proxy rights on the Groupwise mailbox though, otherwise the extraction may not work. - Ben Winzenz Network Engineer Gardner White (317) 581-1580 ext 418 Original Message- From: Bowles, John (OIG/OMP) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 10:19 AM Posted To: Exchange (Swynk) Conversation: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Subject: RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Speaking of which...

RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail
I'm not sure that you need a 3rd party tool for calendar items though. When you run the migration, the Groupwise calendar info is migrated as a .sc2 (I think that is Schedule+ format, not sure though) file and imported into the Inbox as the top mail item. With Outlook XP, it is supposed to automatically import that information into the Outlook Calendar. If the Outlook client doesn't automatically import it, you just have to save the attachment, then run the File, import/export from within Outlook. I haven't had any that one of these two processes didn't work on. - Ben Winzenz Network Engineer Gardner White (317) 581-1580 ext 418 Original Message- From: Tony Hlabse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 10:23 AM Posted To: Exchange (Swynk) Conversation: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Subject: RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Which 3rd party tool did you use.

On the migration machine the GW client was 5.5 and it needs to be 5.2 - spoke to Microsoft and they fully tested with the 5.2 client. We suspect it has something to do with html support. -Original Message- From: Button, Debbie Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 8:31 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail We've just started to migrate users from GW to Exchange and some users fail on calendar items and notes (which are migrated as an all day appointment). GW notes are different from Exchange notes. We have not yet figured out what kind of calendar items. Anyone else run into this who can tell me where to look? Thanks, Debbie

If its just one person, we used a 3rd party util called UniAccess http://www.comaxis.com/ua.htm to do the trick. Its pretty straight fwd. -Original Message- From: Bowles, John (OIG/OMP) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 9:06 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Well, it's a little different than that. She's basically moving from one branch of the gov to another. I agree with you. I wouldn't let anyone do that. But for some reason since she's the head bama in charge that's what she wants.

The Exchange Migration Tool allows you quite a bit of flexibility. You can do a one-step migration, and migrate the contents directly to their Exchange mailbox, or you can do a two-step migration. If you just want the contents in a .pst, then you need to do the two-step. First, you extract the information from Groupwise. The extraction will create temp files. Once the extraction is done, re-run the wizard and select to create a .pst file. Can't remember the exact option, and I don't have the wizard fired up at the moment. I've done it before though, so I know it will work. You have to make sure that the account you are using has proxy rights on the Groupwise mailbox though, otherwise the extraction may not work. - Ben Winzenz Network Engineer Gardner White (317) 581-1580 ext 418 Original Message- From: Bowles, John (OIG/OMP) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 10:19 AM Posted To: Exchange (Swynk) Conversation: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Subject: RE: GroupWise Migration - calendar items fail Speaking of which...
