Re: Groupwise 6.0 --> Exchange 2003 migration issue - help appreciated

[Fitz Crittle [MSFT]]

The Migration Wizard must point to the GroupWise domain that contains the
post office with the users you'll be migrating. If your in a multiple domain
GroupWise environment type the domain that contains the PO and not the
parent domain.

Also make sure the GroupWise client is installed on the Exchange server and
is configured to connect to the PO you'll be migrating.

Hi Fitz,

Thank you for the response. The wizard is pointed to the domain which hosts
the migration PO yet it still is not happy. It is a single (Groupwise) domain
environment, with two POs.

We also have the Groupwise client installed on the migration server, and it
can log in to Groupwise to read mail.

Although the link to 328743 does not work (KB article not available) I have
gone through the second article and can tick off each hint as done - although
I did have to install later versions of the Groupwise and NDS clients.

Thanks for the help thus far, but still no luck for me :(
