Tools You Can Use
Several utilities are available for use during migration:
•The AppleShare IP Migration utility can migrate users and groups, share points and privileges (when migrating in place only), and the mail database. You can use this tool to migrate all these items or only users and groups.
If you’re migrating only users and groups, the recommended approach is to use the user and group export facilities.
If you’re migrating Macintosh Manager data, or want to import users into a shared directory, use Workgroup Manager or the dsimport tool to import the users. The AppleShare IP Migration utility imports users only into the local directory.
•Instead of migrating users and groups with the AppleShare IP Migration utility, you can use an XML export file. Create the file using Web & File Admin in ASIP 6.2 or Mac OS Server Admin in ASIP 6.3. Import the file using Workgroup Manager in version 10.3.
•Use the Macintosh Manager migration utility to migrate Mac OS 9 client management settings. Built in to Macintosh Manager version 2.2, this utility automatically migrates user and group account information to Macintosh Manager 2.2 and migrates user documents and preferences to user home directories.
Instructions in the following sections explain when and how to use these utilities.
