a bit of a nightmare then!!!! did you have any mailboxes that crashed the migration tool for no apparent reason? Im trying to migrate people whose mailboxes are small and they just crash - its very annoying has anyone else experienced this problem?? -----Original Message----- From: Bill Beighe [mailto:bbeighe@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 21 August 2002 01:40 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Re: migration tool http://www.MSExchange.org/ Yes. We used it to migrate 300 accounts. Did mail from 1/1/2001. Does not correctly bring across encrypted messages. When doing calendar, be sure to select date range into future otherwise all future meetings and not brought across. We had about 10 gig of mail and it took all weekend we worked 7/24 in shifts. Noticed that it worked better to select blocks of 20 accounts. Why. Failures were frequent and the whole batch would be screwed up. This way, if you have a problem with a batch you know in like 1/2 hour and can identify the problem and restart. Problems were caused by corrupt mail. Personal address books did not work, utilitiies to convert them did not work. Creating intermediate files did not work so we wrote a routine in Cambio and that worked. I understand that others did not have the personal address book conversion problems that we did. We had to go through by hand and remove the Notes mail addresses associated with each user account that gets created. This was a major pain. Some got left in and that created mail failures later. There is probably a way to write a program to do this but we didn't have the skill set. --- Luke Marioni <lmarioni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > http://www.MSExchange.org/ > > has anyone here used the migration wizard to migrate from lotus notes? > > cheers > > L > > Luke Marioni > > ITG Europe > River Plate House, > 7-11 Finsbury Circus, > London, > EC2M 7EB, > England. > > Tel: +44 (0) 207 670 4200 > Fax: +44 (0) 207 670 4243 > > _______________________________________________ > > The information in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential > and intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s). > This information may be subject to legal, professional or other > privilage and further distribution of it is strictly prohibited without > our authority. > > If you are not the intended recipient, you are not authorised to and > must not disclose, copy, distribute or retain this message or any part > of it, and should notify us immediately. > > ITG Europe is a trademark owned by Investment Technology Group Limited (ITGL) > which refers to > ITGL and/or its subsidiary Investment Technology Group Europe Limited. > > > ------------------------------------------------------ > You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: > bbeighe@xxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ===== Bill Beighe Physicians Medical Group 831.479-6810 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
