Chapter 1

Note:

Any access privileges of folders you move that don’t exactly match the new access

privileges in AppleShare IP 6.0 are converted to the closest match that provides the most
security. For more information about access privileges in AppleShare IP 6.0, see the Users &
Groups section of AppleShare IP Help.

Print Queues

If you’re upgrading from a previous version of the AppleShare Print Server, your Print Server
setup is not retained. You will need to create new queues after you install AppleShare IP 6.0.
( You will create a queue when you set up the Print Server in the next chapter.)

File Sharing & Networking Software Settings

If you are upgrading from AppleShare 3 or 4, or AppleShare IP 5, the settings in your File
Sharing, AppleTalk, and TCP/IP control panels are retained. You do not need to reconfigure
these control panels as described in “Preparing Your Computer.” You should, however, still
perform the other tasks in that section.

The Mail Database

If you’re upgrading your AppleShare IP 5.0 Mail Server to the 6.0 Mail Server, make sure your
Mail Server users download all their mail before you upgrade. If you don’t empty the 5.0 Mail
Server database before installing the AppleShare IP 6.0 Mail Server, you’ll need to use the
AppleShare IP Mail Tool program to update the 5.0 Mail Database to version 6.0 after you
install the new software. ( You can find the AppleShare IP Mail Tool on the AppleShare IP 6.0
CD.)
