Comments on: Migrating GroupWise to Exchange 2003 http://nerhood.wordpress.com/2004/03/26/migrating-groupwise-to-exchange-2003/ My digital diary with topics about family, work, computers, technology, books and whatever else comes to mind Sun, 12 Jul 2009 03:05:58 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Duane http://nerhood.wordpress.com/2004/03/26/migrating-groupwise-to-exchange-2003/#comment-593 Duane Sun, 10 May 2009 16:37:03 +0000 /?p=98#comment-593 In case anyone is still needing to do this (as we are), We finally got nwadmin to display groupwise objects by just copying the gw snapins into the mail server's public\win32 folder. However, the API gateway object | Required Parameters tab still did not show up. The workaround is the "gateway specific" tab brings up a page with a "launch" button that takes one into a context box that allows for changes to be made, including the "component" option. Still having trouble with the gateway stripping all formatting. Anyway, for what its worth.

I contend that they are a massive waste of hardware memory because we do NOT use HMTL in our emails. He contends that the Mime.822 files cannot be stripped off. I find that unacceptable. If we don't run in HTML, there must be a way to write a script file (or something) that will automatically remove the Mime.822 file once it has been received on the company server. But then again, I am a Civil Engineer, not a software engineer. I am having a “discussion” with our IT guy about Mime.822 files in Groupwise.

Also there is program from Quest Software that is a great migration tool and it migrates all address books to exchange, unfortunantly it is $15.00 a user min 100 users.

We used another tool called migpst to export mail from the .pst to groupwise. Now I need to do a migration from groupwise to Exchange and am wondering whether anyone knows of a tool that will take the groupwise mail and export it to a .pst file. I have heard that exchange has a migration tool, but as far as I'm aware it's only available from a new exchange installation whereas I will be moving users to an existing exchange server, plus we dont particularly want to move all the mail onto the exchange server as there is 40gb or something. Does anyone have any advice please. Hi There,

It ended up being so specific to our implementation that it would have been too much work to make it a portable application. That being said, if I remember correctly the export out of GroupWise was really just a CSV file (granted they called it something else). With a little of VB scripting, you could probably make a macro in Excel that would easily convert the data to an acceptable Outlook import file. If you do get it work, please let me know. --ken Cliff,
