Migrating Data for Managed Mac OS 8 and 9 Users
On Mac OS X Server version 10.3, Macintosh Manager version 2.2 is used to manage
preferences of users of computers running software earlier than Mac OS X. On earlier
server versions, these applications were used to manage such clients:
Procedures for migrating data for these users vary with the server from which you’re
migrating because the location of managed user data storage varies:
•
On servers prior to Mac OS X Server version 10.0, managed user information was
maintained in a database different from the database used to store accounts. Since
version 10.0, all account data has been stored in a directory services directory and
imported into Macintosh Manager for preference management.
•
On Mac OS X Server version 10.0 and later, user account data includes the location of
a user’s home directory. Personal user documents and user-specific settings (such as
Apple menu items or preferences) are stored there. On earlier servers, this data was
kept on the volume designated as a workgroup’s document storage volume. This
meant that users could have different sets of preferences if they belonged to
different workgroups.
•
Macintosh Manager version 2.2 stores user preferences in /Library/Classic/ in the
user’s home directory. Earlier versions of client management applications stored
preferences in /Library/ in the user’s home directory on the server volume.
Each chapter provides instructions for migrating Mac OS 9 managed preferences that
are tailored to the environment from which you’re moving.
Migrating Other Data
Other data you may be able to migrate, depending on the server version you’re
currently using, includes web files, WebMail, and the mail database.
Individual chapters in this guide summarize what you can migrate from previous
servers to Mac OS X Server version 10.3.
