MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION

Migrating nested groups
A group that is a member of another group, is said to be nested within that group, and is considered to be a nested group. Groups may be nested hierarchically, with each nested group containing one or more additional nested groups. For example, the groups #IS Managers may have as a member the group #admins, which includes the group #po admins, which includes the member #po backups, and so forth.

You can only migrate a nested group if you are migrating its parent group. Regardless of whether you add the main group, you can still add users in the nested groups.

There are two options related to migrating nested groups:


"Add nested groups contained in this group and their members" check box

By default, when you migrate a group, the check box "Add nested groups contained in this group and their members" is selected and Domino Upgrade Services add all members of a migrating group, including other nested groups and their local users, to the "People/Groups to migrate list."

For example, if you are migrating a group #IS Managers, which includes the group #admins, which includes the group #po admins, and you select the option "Add nested groups contained in this group and their members," all three groups (#IS Managers, #admins, and #po admins ) and all their members are added to the "People/Groups to migrate list."

Clear the check box if you do not want to add nested groups or their users to the "People/Groups to migrate list."

This field is not available if you clear the "Add members of this group to the existing Notes group" check box or the "Create a new Notes group with the following settings" check box.

"Add people contained in nested groups as Notes users" check box

Select this check box if you want to migrate local users in a group's nested groups, without migrating the parent group. By default, the check box is cleared.

After you click OK, Domino Upgrade Services add users in all of a group's nested groups to the "People/Groups to migrate list."

This field is not available if you select the "Add members of this group to the existing Notes group" check box or the Create a new Notes group with the following settings check box.

Migrating groups with common members

In some situations, a user or group in a migrating group hierarchy may be a member of more than one group in the hierarchy. When migrating nested groups, Domino Upgrade Services ignore duplicate occurrences of users or groups. Items are added to Notes only once.
