Re: Exchange Interoperability and Migration Guide
Thanks for your reply.
I find the Exchange Interoperability and Migration Guide, at 335 pages, to
be an extremely long document, and since I want to migrate (no
interoperability required) I tend to try to just read the parts pertaining
to Migration. However, it seems as though the migration instructions assume
you have already set up interoperability, and this is where I am finding
myself thinking I need to do things that aren't reqauired for a straight
migration (like installing the GroupWsie API).
Has Microsoft prepared a document that explains only the steps required to
do a small migration like I am describing? While I believe the
Interoperability and Migration Guide contains a great deal of useful
information, it seems kind of crazy to read 3 or 4 hours worth of
documentation to learn how to do a one hour job!
I appreciate your reply, and look forward to the next one.
Thanks,
Rob P.

Re: Exchange Interoperability and Migration Guide
Hi,
I haven't found such a document - sorry. If you install workstation with the
groupwise client, Novell client, Outlook and exchange system manager you
should be able to go directly to the migration pages in the document.
