I need to migrate to another server What shoud I do? Need some help

Hello everyone.
I have a situation. I need to reinstall the OS on this
server and Im 
planning to install temporary the surgemail on other server
until I 
finish with this one. Is there any easy way to transfer the
settings 
already made and user accounts / mailboxes to the other
server easily?

Best Regards,

I did this going from a W2K to W2K3 machine a few months
back.  Some people
do a mirror type of setup - but I didn't try that myself - I
did the copy
method.

Installed Surgemail (same version) on new server,
Copied entire surgemail directory from old server to new
one.
Tellmail deactivate on old server
Tellmail activate on new server
Up and going.

I actually tried to not carry forward any redundant stuff
and selectively
copied over directories.  Lead to a bunch of junk problems
here and there so
ended up copying over everything.

Did you have to maintain same Drive letter placement?  I'm
in a similar
situation, only on the old server, Surge is on F.  I can
duplicate that on
the new server.  Probably best to do that though.

Oo good point - I forgot about that part.

After installing, then copying over the directory - then I
edited
surgemail.ini to update any new drive path locations.

Then the tellmail deactivate, activate.

It did cause a little bit of downtime as I stopped surgemail
on old server
prior to copying over the mail directory - but not much
really and it was
nothing too bad for my level of activity.

Since it's easy to resize/partition the new system, I'll
just make sure the
drive letters are the same prior to the install on the
replacement box.

Did you change OS's at the same time as well? I'll be going
from a win2k box
to an 2k3 box.  Celeron PIII900 to P4 Zeon 2.8gig.

Yeah I did, up from 2K to 2K3 - That kind of change should
give you a real
nice boost.

But don't forget - not only drive letters but folder
structure.

No biggie if you have them both like d:surgemail
On mine I organized web content & mail in a better
folder fashion, so either
way it altered for me.

I'm in a default configuration actually, where ever Surge
want's to install,
I just don't put it on C with the OS.  We're small, in
company. BUT, we have
an FTP server on that same old box that has built-in packet
shaping/data
throttling, and when there is a file coming in or out, it
pegs the CPU at
100% with the overhead.  Plus, the box is getting long in
tooth, and needs
to be retired.

>From one of out other companies, we just got in a
collection of nice
"modern" hardware I'm going to re-purpose.  One of
which was an Exchange
Server <sly smile>.  It's only licensed for 25 users,
so it's going to be
uninstalled/removed from the box as I go forward.

Hello everyone.
I have a situation. I need to reinstall the OS on this
server and Im
planning to install temporary the surgemail on other server
until I finish

settings already made
and user accounts / mailboxes to the other server easily?

Best Regards,

My situation is a little diferent. The current server is a
SunFireV250 
running solaris 10 with a Sparc cpu. Now the temporary
server will be a 
Dell running solaris 10 with a Intel cpu. Since they have
the same OS i 
dont have a problem but the CPU is different. I dont know if
surgemail 
for solaris is available for x86 cpu Does anyone have an
idea? Also 
where can I download previous versions of surgemail since my
version is 
the 3.8f3-3 Jan 12 2007 and I dont find the link on the
site?

Thanks!

Subject: Re: [SurgeMail List] I need to migrate to another
server What shoud
I do? Need some help

My situation is a little diferent. The current server is a
SunFireV250
running solaris 10 with a Sparc cpu. Now the temporary
server will be a Dell
running solaris 10 with a Intel cpu. Since they have the
same OS i dont have
a problem but the CPU is different. I dont know if surgemail
for solaris is
available for x86 cpu Does anyone have an idea? Also where
can I download
previous versions of surgemail since my version is the
3.8f3-3 Jan 12 2007
and I dont find the link on the site?

Thanks!
