SYMPTOMS
When using the Migration Wizard for cc:Mail, nothing happens if you select the root
of the cc:Mail post office, using the
Browse option. If
you manually type the path to the root in the selector box, the following
error message is displayed:
The directory you have selected is not a cc:Mail post office.
CAUSE
The post office selected is a DB8 cc:Mail post office. The Exchange 5.0 Migration Wizard
does not migrate cc:Mail DB8 (version 2.x) post offices, only DB6 (version
6.x). Presently, there is not a true migration path from a DB8 cc:Mail post
office to Microsoft Exchange Server. Customers needing to migrate from DB8 post offices must upgrade to Exchange Server version 5.5.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:
- To migrate cc:Mail users from a DB8 post office to Exchange Server, move
the users to a DB6 post-office, and then perform the migration.
