Chapter 8 Migrating From AppleShare IP 93
Step 10: Test the new server
To test the new server:
1Open Workgroup Manager and inspect user and group accounts.
2Open Server Admin and inspect settings for services whose configuration data you
migrated.
Step 11: Migrate mail
If you want to migrate mail, use one of these techniques:
ÂHave users copy mail they want to save from the ASIP server to Mac OS X Server.
ÂMigrate the mail database to Mac OS X version 10.2, then migrate it to the version
10.4 server.
To have users copy mail:
1Follow the instructions in the mail administration guide for setting up version 10.4 mail
service that supports the IMAP protocol.
2Create user mail accounts.
3Have ASIP mail users configure their mail clients to use Mac OS X Server’s mail service.
4With the ASIP mail server running, have the mail users copy the mail they want to keep
from the ASIP server to Mac OS X Server using the IMAP protocol.
To migrate the ASIP mail database:
1Install Mac OS X Server version 10.2 on a computer that meets the system requirements
in Getting Started With Mac OS X Server for version 10.2. Follow the instructions in the
getting started guide to install server software and perform initial server setup.
2On the ASIP server, disconnect all users and administrators and shut down the mail
server.
3On the version 10.2 server, log in as an administrator and turn off all services using
Server Settings.
4Connect to the ASIP server from the version 10.2 server, logging in as an administrator.
5Mount the startup volume for the ASIP server.
6Navigate to the AppleShare IP Mail 6.0 Data file and copy it to a local partition on the
version 10.2 server.
7Open the AppleShare IP Migration utility on the version 10.2 server. It’s located in
/Applications/Utilities/. Then click the lock in the lower-left corner to authenticate as an
administrator.
8Select the option that migrates the mail database, then click Migrate.
9Locate the file Users & Groups Data File and click Choose. (The default location is the
Preferences folder in the System Folder.)
10 Locate the file AppleShare IP Mail 6.0 Data and click Choose.
