| Are you using an Open Directory? If so, then you should be able to setup the new machine as a 10.4.11 Open Directory Replica, remove the current server and promote the Replica to Master. You could look at mailbfr (http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/41/57/) as a possible way to backup all the data and restore. You can also look at the Mail service guide: http://images.apple.com/server/macos...0.5_2nd_Ed.pdf I would test all ideas in a trial environment before deciding that it's done!  Michael |

First of all copy all data from the map /var/spool/imap to the new location. 2nd use the following commands: su mv /var/imap /var/imap.old mkdir /var/imap /usr/bin/cyrus/tools/mkimap chown -R cyrusimap:mail /var/imap chown -R cyrusimap:mail /var/spool/imap sudo -u cyrusimap /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -i sudo -u cyrusimap /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/cyrus-quota -f There is a difference for 10.3 and 10.4 in user / group name, this sequence is for 10.4. Always tes before applying. If needed, you can even put the mail on another location (using serveradmin /mailmodule). If have done that to prevent mail lose when reinstalling os-x server. See also document 107996 on the apple site. Users can be exported and imported using wgm. Passwords (in od) is also possible, but i have not available the command for it. But there is a thread in this are specifying the required command. Otherwise the poster might help you out on that subject. Good luck, Kees |
