I am planning to upgrade from NetWare 4.11 to NetWare 6 and GroupWise 5.2 to GroupWise 6. The new NW/GW 6 server is a brand new box. I think I have all my ducks in a row, but wanted to check here. The process is:
1) Migrate NetWare across the wire to the new server.
2) Don't even run GW 5.2 NLMs on the new server.
3) Run the GW 6 upgrade.
After everything is migrated, upgraded and working, I will be redoing the old server from scratch as a 6 server and move all the GroupWise stuff (domain, po, NLMs) to that server.
I am doing and NDS health check and GWCheck tomorrow night.
Sound about right? Any suggestions, precautions, etc. would be appreciated.
