Easy step-by-step migration of your mail, calendars, contacts, tasks,
other groupware data and global address list (GAL) from a Microsoft
Exchange server to a Kolab server. In the migration process the
groupware objects and mail is translated to the Kolab-XML format. This
format can be used by Toltec™ enabled Microsoft Outlook clients and
other Kolab-XML
clients like Kontact and Horde.
WARNING: Please make a backup of
your Microsoft Exchange mail store before attempting a migration.
Although the Toltec™ Migration Tool does not modify any data on the
Microsoft Exchange server, it is a good practice to make a backup prior
to doing such a big batch operation on the server.
Limitations:
- The demo mode version of the Toltec™
Migration Tool will only migrate the 25 most recently created messages
and groupware objects for each folder.
- Currently the migration tool only
supports migration from the Exchange server to one master Kolab server.
- The migration tool has only been tested
with Exchange 2003/2007.
How to use:
- Install the Toltec™ Migration Tool on a
work station with Windows XP or later and Outlook 2003/2007. ( Note:
The migration tool cannot be installed on the Exchange server.)
- A special account must be created on the
Microsoft Exchange server and the account placed in the "Exchange
Domain User" group.
- Create a new profile on the workstation
using the special account details.
- Start up Outlook and log into the new
profile, then close Outlook.
- Start the migration tool and follow the
onscreen instructions.
Notes:
- The migration workstation should be
physically secured and password protected. This is needed as the
workstation will have full access to all the accounts on the Exchange
server.
- The migration workstation should have at
least 1 GB of RAM.
