MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION

Preparing the directory for migration
The cc:Mail Domino Upgrade Service converts user names in the cc:Mail directory to Person documents in the Domino Directory. Before migration, prepare for directory conversion as follows to help minimize processing time and errors:
Removing inactive accounts from the post office directory

For each cc:Mail post office being migrated to Lotus Notes, review the contents of the cc:Mail directory and verify each account. Identify and make a list of inactive accounts, for example, local accounts that were created, but never used, or accounts for employees who have left the company. To avoid processing invalid accounts, refer to this list when you select users to import to Lotus Notes.

Generate a report of cc:Mail account usage as follows:

For a DB6 post office

At the command prompt, enter the following command:

CHKSTAT po_name po_pass po_path STATUSERS/N >output.txt

For a DB8 post office

At the command prompt, enter the following command:

DIRSTAT /N po_name /P po_pass /D po_path /DL /LU /LOG output.txt

where po_name is the name of the post office; po_pass is the post office password; po_path is the network path to the directory where the post office is located; and output.txt is the name of the file to which you want the report saved.
