Describe Import Files

Confirm your migration choice by choosing Next.  Make sure you have done the preliminary steps outlined for this type of migration.


Select Migration File

Type the pathname for the migration files.  Choose Browse for a directory selection dialog box.


Choose Microsoft Exchange Server

Specify the server you want the mailboxes added to.

If you want to migrate to more than one server, create more than one set of migration files.  You can move the mailboxes later, but it is easier to migrate directly to the desired server.


Select Recipient Container

Select the directory container for the new mailboxes.

Note  You cannot move a mailbox from one directory container to another after the mailbox has been created.

If you are using a mailbox template to reduce the work of setting up new mailboxes, choose Browse and select the template mailbox from the address list. For more information on mailbox templates, see the Microsoft Exchange Server Migration Guide.


Select Windows NT Domain

Select how you want to create Windows NT accounts for the migrated users.

Create Accounts and Generate Random Passwords

Creates Windows NT accounts for each mailbox. The account name matches the alias name, and the passwords are random.  The account names and passwords are written to the file ACCOUNT.PASSWORD in the working directory of the Migration Wizard. For users to log on to Windows NT, you need to distribute these passwords to them.

Create Account and Use Alias as Password

Creates Windows NT accounts for each mailbox. The account name matches the alias name, and the passwords default to the alias name of the mailbox. For users to logon to Windows NT, you need to make sure they know what their alias is.

Don’t create Windows NT Accounts

If a Windows NT account which matches the alias of a mailbox does not exist, create the mailbox without an associated Windows NT account. No one will be able to access this mailbox until a Windows NT account is associated with it.

Choose a Windows NT Domain for new accounts

Enter the Windows NT Domain where existing accounts are, or where you want the new accounts created.

Migration Files

Migrating Calendar Information to Schedule+


Migration Files

Three types of files make up each set of migration files:

Packing list file

A file that lists primary and secondary migration files, and specifies the code page of the information. Each migration file set has one packing list file. The file extension for packing list files is PKL.

Primary migration file

A file in comma-separated value (CSV) format which contains changes to the directory, mail message headers and personal address lists (PALs). It can also have pointers to secondary migration files. Each migration file set has one or more primary migration files. The file extension for primary migration files is PRI.

Secondary migration file

A file with data that doesn’t fit in the primary migration file format, including attachments, message bodies, binary data and any text with carriage returns. The file extension for secondary migration files is SEC.

For more information on the migration file format, see the Microsoft Exchange Server Migration Guide.


Migrating Calendar Information to Schedule+

When source extractors that support Schedule+ migration through Schedule+ import format files, such as IBM PROFS/OV,  DEC ALL-IN-1, and Microsoft Mail (AppleTalk), it mails the calendar information to users in an attachment to a message.

The message body that the Migration Wizard generates informing users what to do with the message is localized to the server language, not the client language.  If you have users using versions of the client localized in languages different than the server, you may want to give them additional instructions.
