GroupWise to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003

We want to migrate some users running Novell GroupWise 6.0 to Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange 2000 Server. What's the best way to accomplish this migration?

Microsoft stopped supporting GroupWise migrations through its own tools with GroupWise 5.5. Adding insult to injury, Novell apparently stopped supporting GroupWise 5.5 in July 2003. As a result, your options are limited . . .

Your choices are the following:

  1. Microsoft Exchange 2003 Migration
  2. GroupWise to Exchange Migration

 

Novell Support Options:

  1. Los Angeles Novell Support

  2. Novell Migration Path Choices

Microsoft Exchange Outlook Web Access


For customers who Microsoft Exchange 2003 Migration require assistive-technology devices to interact with software applications, it is recommended that they use the Basic Outlook Web Access client. By default, the Basic client renders in all browsers except Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 to 6.x. However, an Exchange administrator can provide users of Internet Explorer 5.01 to 6.x with the option to choose the Basic client when logging onto Outlook Web Access. To do this, the administrator must use the Exchange System Manager to enable forms-based authentication for Outlook Web Access. For details on enabling forms-based authentication, see the Exchange 2003 Client Access Guide and the Exchange 2003 Security Guide.Los Angeles Computer Consulting
Administrators also have the option of setting the Basic client as the default client for all browsers. For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) Article 296232, "XCCC: Empty Inbox When Using Internet Explorer 5 and Later to Gain Access to OWA" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14919).Microsoft Exchange Server Support
 


Section 508 0f the Rehabilitation Act regulates how government agencies purchase electronic and information technology. It requires procurement officials to purchase only electronic and information technologies that are accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 states that any "electronic and information technology" developed, procured, maintained or used by Federal agencies must be accessible to people with disabilities, including employees and members of the public, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency.
To view the Exchange 2003 VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template), which describers the accessibility features that address the Section 508 standards, go to http://www.Microsoft.com/usa/government/section508.asp.
