Migrating From AppleShare IP

Tools You Can Use

Several utilities are available for use during migration:

 The AppleShare IP Migration utility can import users and groups into the local server

directory.

 If you want to import users into a shared directory, create an XML export file using

Web & File Admin in ASIP 6.2 or Mac OS Server Admin in ASIP 6.3. Import the file
using Workgroup Manager or the

dsimport

tool in version 10.4.

Workgroup Manager’s import facility and the

dsimport

tool also let you import other

kinds of data, such as computers and computer lists.

 The AppleShare IP Migration utility can be used to migrate the mail database to

Mac OS X Server version 10.2. From the version 10.4 server, you can use Server Admin
to import the version 10.2 database.

Instructions in the following sections explain when and how to use these utilities.
