Hi,
after digging through the documentation and this forum from my understanding the best way is installing the GW18- or GW24-server-software on the Windows Server to have the new DBCOPY.EXE at hand, then use this DBCOPY.EXE to copy domain, post-office and storage-area from the Netware-server to the Windows-server. Then - maybe, not sure about this step - run the new GWCHECK.EXE against the copied system and finally use the GWADMIN on the Windows-server to do the upgrade of the copied system including installation of the MTA and POA. After this point I would start correcting the settings like IP-address, platform (Windows instead of Netware) etc. with GWADMIN on the Windows-server. I will not correct the settings with ConsoleOne due to the - from my view - lesser integration of the new GW with eDir.
Or is it neccessary to first throw the GW8-server-software on the Windows-server, have this running and then do an in-place-upgrade?
Regards
Karl
