Any success migration Groupwise 7.0.2

[drhughes]

I'm a new NE customer trying to convert my Groupwise users over to Zimbra NE 5.0.11 with very little success. I was wonder if anybody has had any luck making this conversion? If so, can you please share how you did it?

When the migration tools runs completely the only warnings I get are about shared folders, which is OK, they don't convert. However, when I log into Zimbra, half the messages are not there, and it is hit and miss with the Calendar. Only the addressbook seems to convert 100%.

I have thought about using IMAPSync, but that doesn't help me with user's Calendars or addressbooks.

Are there any other suggestions on how I might convert 1500+ Groupwise accounts over to Zimbra?

Anybody? I am still trying to get this process to work.

for the mails you can use imapsync, but for the contacts and calendar, you can export the calendar in ics format and re import it with a rest url in zimbra. For the contacts, you can do the same exporting your contacts in csv format and importing it in rest url

For 2000 accounts? Need something better then exporting calendars by hand.

[sktwolf]

have you tried to export calendar users in ical format ?
I don't know if groupwize is doing it natively but someone write a script un ruby to do that.

when you will have your ics for each user, it will be easy ti import it in zimbra

We migrated about a year ago with the GroupWise migration tool. The results were pretty poor and if we'd had it to do over we would have used imapsync and ical exports. We had to do migrations one by one to get anywhere close to successful results with the Migration tool.

Check with Zimbra support and they may be able to give you some tips to improve your results. Migrate with just one thread and initially just one mailbox and see if that's working. Run integrity checks against your GW mailstore to make sure that their aren't issues there. Make sure you set the option for maximum attachment size to migrate.

Good luck.

The GroupWise migration tool makes use of a Novell shared library that Zimbra is unable to redistribute without additional paperwork. Contact your salesperson or support.

Two years ago, we migrated about 400 users from GroupWise 7.0.2, with considerable pain. Based on release notes, I think all the issues we had have been addressed.
