Chapter 5
Migrating From AppleShare IP
89
When migrating users and groups, the migration utility checks to see if a duplicate user
exists in a parent domain on a different computer. To determine what happens when a
duplicate user name occurs, choose an option:
•
Don’t migrate the AppleShare user:
The ASIP data is reassigned to the administrator
and the mail inbox is converted to a text file. (Choose this option if you’re migrating a
primary server.)
•
Migrate the AppleShare user’s privileges and mail:
The ASIP data is assigned to the
existing user in the parent domain and the ASIP mail is made available to this user.
(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 is not updated.
