Finally it’s time to move from Novell GroupWise to Ms. Exchange 2010.
It’s been 13 years i’ve been using GroupWise since version 4 to version 7 and now I have to get use to Microsoft Exchange. It’s a big project since we have to move not only mailboxes and contacts but also We’re moving our E-Directory to Active Directory.
I’ve been searching and doing some research on this migration process, our neightbourg in UK were using tools call Quest which cost about USD 30 per mailboxes and also they hired external consultant.
After 2 months doing research and experiment on my personal lab, thank’s to msexchange.org, support.novell.com, microsoft.com and other forums website, I manage to do this migration my self without to spend any money. All you need is read, try and error plus documentation. I am also had created documentation on how this migration process, if you need it please drop a comment here and your email.
Finally i managed to move all the mailboxes, calenders, task and contacts. Another task waiting for me is to install Office communication Server in our office.
Thank’s to Allah swt for everything and also to my family for supporting me and make me believe that i can do this project.
