Are you interested only in SMTP/POP/IMAP access? YEs!

Do you intend to integrate a calendar server? Yes

Hi Lorena,

I think that those could be the steps:

- install all the communication suite (JavaES 2005Q4 + patches)

- get the profile for the *default* user as a template

- get an LDIF of your actual users

- with a little of scripting create a new single LDIF file that contains all your users based on the template of the new *default* user

- feed the LDAP with all users, and you should be done.

If you also intend to migrate the mailboxes, then you can use the MoveUser utility that let you migrate users via IMAP.

Regards,

marco.

I seem to have missed some converstation, but I have some to \add:

1. There has NEVER been an iPlanet Messaging Server 4.2. The last one for 4.x was 4.15p7. I suspect that you are looking at the Directory Console version 4.2.

2. You CAN move directly from 4.15 to 6.2. It's not "upgrade in place", but "migrate".

3. To move your ldap data, please read the documentation here:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-6734-10

Or, yes, you can do it with ldif export and import. You will need a utility from 5.2, "dirmig" to migrate the 4.xx LDAP schema to 5.x, also known in 6.x as "schema 1".

4. The actual mail can be migrated directly with MoveUser, or, if on the same box, by simply starting the 6.x server while pointed to the 4.15 mail store. The basic format of the mail store hasn't changed. Database versions have been upgraded, but Messaging will handle that part itself.
