Chapter 5 Migrating From AppleShare IP 87
Step 4: Prepare to migrate privileges
On Mac OS X Server, groups can’t own folders.
Before you migrate from ASIP, you can use Mac OS Server Admin (in ASIP 6.3), or Web &
File Admin (in ASIP 6.2), to assign a new owner to any folders that are owned by a
group.
If you use the AppleShare IP Migration utility to migrate share points and privileges, the
ownership of any folders owned by a group is assigned to the administrator.
You can use Workgroup Manager after migration to change the owner, if required.
Step 5: Install Mac OS X Server version 10.3
To install the new server:
1 If you want to migrate Macintosh Manager data, complete the next step. Otherwise,
skip to the third step.
2 Open the Macintosh Manager 1.x administration application and log in to the ASIP
server using an administrator account.
After connecting, verify the users and workgroups using the option on the File menu.
After the consistency check is complete, quit the application.
Note: User accounts that exist only in Macintosh Manager and not in ASIP’s Users &
Groups list won’t be migrated. These users will appear in the migration log file, as
described later in this procedure.
3 Use the Devices and Volumes tab in Apple System Profiler to determine the format of
the disk or partition onto which you want to install version 10.3. If it’s not formatted
using HFS Plus, back up the partition, reformat it in HFS Plus, then restore the contents
before installing version 10.3. If the partition is RAID formatted, check with the vendor
for compatibility with Mac OS X.
4 Follow the instructions in the getting started guide for installing Mac OS X Server
version 10.3. Select the hard disk or partition where ASIP (and, optionally, Macintosh
Manager and At Ease for Workgroups) is installed as the location for the new version of
the server. Make sure you click “Don’t erase” when specifying a target volume using the
Installer. When using Server Assistant, don’t set up any services to start automatically.
5 If you’ve been using Macintosh Manager or At Ease for Workgroups to manage
Mac OS 9 users and want to continue doing so, also install Macintosh Manager 2.2.
Step 6: Set up the home directory infrastructure
Set up the destination for home directories you want to restore.
For detailed instructions on how to perform individual steps in the following
procedure, see the user management guide.
