Step 6: Copy the Users & Groups Data File

To copy this file:

1Navigate to the Users & Groups Data File on the remote ASIP server. Its default location is the Preferences folder in the System Folder.

2Make a copy of the Users & Groups Data File.

3From the version 10.4 server, move the copy of the Users & Groups Data File to a local partition on the version 10.4 server.

Step 7: Run the AppleShare IP Migration utility or use Workgroup Manager to import users and groups and other data

You can use Workgroup Manager or the dsimport tool to import users and groups and other data into any directory:

ÂSee the user management guide for instructions about importing by using Workgroup Manager.

ÂSee the command-line administration guide for dsimport instructions and a description of Workgroup Manager export format.

The AppleShare IP Migration utility imports users only into the local directory.

To use the AppleShare IP Migration utility:

1Open the AppleShare IP Migration utility. It’s located in /Applications/Server/.

2Click the lock in the lower-left corner to authenticate as an administrator.

3Specify migration options.

Note: You can’t migrate share points and privileges.

Select Users & Groups, then select the option that creates local home directories for the users you’re migrating. The users are migrated to the local directory on the server where you’re running the migration utility.

The migration utility checks to see whether a duplicate user exists in a parent domain on a different computer. To set what happens when a duplicate user name occurs, select an option:

ÂDon’t migrate the AppleShare user: The ASIP data is reassigned to the administrator. (Choose this option if you’re migrating a primary server.)

ÂMigrate the AppleShare user’s privileges and mail: The ASIP data is assigned to the existing user in the parent domain. (Choose this option if you’re migrating a secondary server.)

Note: If a duplicate group exists in a parent domain on another computer, the membership of this group isn’t updated.

4Click Migrate.

5Locate the file Users & Groups Data File and click Choose. (The default location is the Preferences folder in the System Folder.)
