Why Upgrade from Exchange? (cont.)
• Flexibility—Message Transfer Agent (MTAs) and Post Office Agents (POAs) where you need them
• Reuse of existing hardware (file, print, and mail)
• All components are cluster-enabled
![Page 7: Upgrading Exchange 5.5 to Novell GroupWise ® 6 Tim Heywood Technical Director Live Data Computers Ltd. tch@iqx.co.uk Mark McManus Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c403d6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• No need to implement Microsoft Active Directory (MAD)—mandatory for Exchange 2000
• Cost—server-side software ‘free’

• All messages are tracked, so you can ‘Always’ see when someone got a message, read the message and when they deleted it … Without having to specify that you want tracking on
• WebAccess is much closer to the full client than OWA, you can see, read move etc. from all of you folders, NOT just the inbox

Migration Options
•User-based
•Concurrent unconnected systems
•Microsoft GroupWise gateway for Exchange
•Novell GroupWise Exchange gateways
![Page 22: Upgrading Exchange 5.5 to Novell GroupWise ® 6 Tim Heywood Technical Director Live Data Computers Ltd. tch@iqx.co.uk Mark McManus Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c403d6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
User-Based Migration
• User archives, or back-ups, own mail and appointments using Outlook client
The information is saved to a .PST file
• Opens swanky new GW Client and imports using GWEXARCH.EXE
• Little-known tool, GWMSARCH.EXE, imports from old MSMail backup files
![Page 23: Upgrading Exchange 5.5 to Novell GroupWise ® 6 Tim Heywood Technical Director Live Data Computers Ltd. tch@iqx.co.uk Mark McManus Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c403d6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
GWEXARCH.EXE
• Known problems While migrating a recurring appointment/task, only the
first instance is migrated Password-protected .PST files cannot be migrated using
the command-line option Password of the .PST file is validated only at the time of
migration If dropping of attachments is enabled, the start date of
task messages will not appear correctly The migrated message contains display names of the
recipients; in order to reply, recipients must be manually added from the GroupWise address book

Concurrent Systems
• Install both clients and have Exchange as a reference
It sucks
Not as bad as it sounds
Practice says this is the most efficient migration method, so…

Concurrent Hybrid
• A short-term hybrid that gets everyone up and running on GW very quickly
Afterward, use GWEXARCH.EXE to migrate data as required
• Those who REALLY need their data keep what they require, and the rest…

MS GroupWise Gateway
• Designed to work in reverse
• Helps with co-existence, but not migration away from Exchange
![Page 31: Upgrading Exchange 5.5 to Novell GroupWise ® 6 Tim Heywood Technical Director Live Data Computers Ltd. tch@iqx.co.uk Mark McManus Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649f285503460f94c403d6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
MS GroupWise Gateway
• Limitations Requires the setup of a GW API gateway Does not handle Internet addressing correctly eDirectory information cannot be imported
• Advantages Uses “Advanced Exchange API” (they just forgot
to tell anyone else about these features)• Busy search works from Outlook• Address synchronization on very large systems is faster
