Migrating from Post.Office Using MSConvUser2.exe to export Post.Office 3.x accounts into mailsite. MSConvUser2.exe is only compatible with Post.Office 3.x. In order to migrate post.office accounts, you will need to install mailsite on the same local machine the post.office mailserver is installed. Do not start the MailSite services.

Below is an explanation of how to migrate the userbase from the Post.Office mail server.

---

NOTE:
It is important that all the post office users have their password handy. If they forget their password, they will not be able to log into the MailSite account. The password needs to be captured when the user logs into the MailSite account and converted to the MailSite format. If the user has not logged into the MailSite account, it cannot be changed from the MailSite console or the web console.

MSConvUser2 -[h?vtq] -m mailsystem [-o xmlfile] [-i indent] [-p plugin] [-d domain] --

-h?  help
-v   version
-t   trace
-q   quiet
-m   alien mailsystem, the following types are supported ...
     Post.Office
-o   the name of the output xmlfile 
-i   indent factor to use when writing xml (default 0)
-p   MailSite plugin Id for created mailboxes (0=>registry/SQL)
     1=> NT , 2=>Database

-d   MailSite domain in which the mailboxes will be created (default domain otherwise)

--  Arguments following this marker are alien mailsystem specific 


Post.Office specific arguments 

-x      directory containing the Post.Office cmdutils
-w      directory for working files (should be same as mailsite directory)

For example: MsconvUser2.exe -m Post.Office -o targetfile.xml -- -x c:\program files\post.office\cmdutils\ -w c:\mailsite

After you have exported the users to the XML file, you will need to use msImportExport.exe to import the users into Mailsite with the following command:

MsImportExport.exe -import filename.xml -server -domains -mailboxes

NOTE:
This procedure will not over-write the existing domains, boxes will be added and new domains will be created as needed.
