5.0 Installing the Exchange Migration Utility

If you are performing a small system migration, install the Migration Utility on one Windows workstation. If you are performing a large system migration, install the Migration Utility on multiple Windows workstations (system worksheet item 2).

IMPORTANT:Do not install and run the Migration Utility on Exchange servers.

  2. At a machine that meets the system requirements listed in Section 2.0, Exchange Migration Utility System Requirements, make sure that Outlook is already installed.

    The GroupWise® client should not be installed. If it is, the Exchange Migration Utility Setup program removes it.

  3. Make sure that you have administrator rights to the Exchange server that you want to migrate (server worksheet item 1).

    IMPORTANT:The workstation where you run the Migration Utility must have a username and password identical to the one on the Exchange server. Otherwise, you cannot access the Exchange server with the necessary rights.

  4. From the Novell® Downloads Web site, download the GroupWise Migration Utility for Microsoft Exchange (gw700exmig.exe) into a temporary directory.

  5. Run gw700exmig.exe to extract the Migration Utility files into a convenient directory.
