MAIL AND DIRECTORY MIGRATION

Migrating personal address book information from the old mail server
The Notes mail client stores personal address book information locally, on the client workstation. However, the cc:Mail, Microsoft Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and Outlook Express clients each store some portion of a user's personal address book information on the mail server. Migrating personal address book information from the old mail server requires coordination between the administrative migration tools and the user upgrade wizards that make up Domino Upgrade Services.

Domino Upgrade Services for cc:Mail and Microsoft Mail each include options for migrating users' personal address book information (the Microsoft Exchange Domino Upgrade Service automatically migrates such information when it is present). When you migrate users' personal address book information from the server, the Domino Administrator automatically places an upgrade message in their Notes Inboxes. Attached to each upgrade message is a temporary Notes Personal Address Book (PAB), which contains the information migrated from the old mail system.

Users who do not have personal information to migrate from the server do not receive an upgrade message.

Personal address book information sent in the upgrade message

The following table shows the personal address book information that Domino Upgrade Services copy from the server into the temporary PAB attached to the upgrade message:
