This section describes the manual steps for moving existing GroupWise 7 or GroupWise 8 users, post offices, and domains from NetWare or Windows to Linux. This section is designed to help those who might have a domain or post office where the Server Migration Utility is not fully successful in migrating the GroupWise data.
IMPORTANT:If you have GroupWise 6.x or 5.x, review the “Update” section of the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide or the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide to acquaint yourself with the issues involved in updating from one version of GroupWise to another. You should update your GroupWise system to GroupWise 7 or 8 before migrating it to Linux.
