Migrating your Group Wise Email Data to Hosted Exchange
At Cobweb we are here to make your email migration from Group
Wise cost-effective and hassle-free migration, removing the
complexity and time away from your IT staff, with little or no
impact on your end users.
When migrating from Group Wise, there are three simple
steps:
1. Export the data you wish to migrate into PST
files
2. Get your data to us
3. Mailbox creation and data import
Exporting the data you wish to migrate into PST files
When you join the Cobweb Hosted Exchange
platform, we endeavor to ensure that your Group Wise data is
transferred to our system seamlessly. To do this, we
recommend you take backups of each individual user’s mailbox from
your existing Lotus Notes system and preparing it in a way that
will make migrating to Cobweb easy.
As your existing system is not Microsoft
Exchange, you will require a third party tool, for example Quest, will enable you to do
this easily.
We will also require a list of users so that
we can set up your new mailboxes. A standard naming convention is:
firstname.secondname@tdx.
This work will be completed by our Provisioning Team and
information will be sent out to your users regarding their login
details for their new mailboxes.
When users receive their login details, we
would then require all users to visit our Control Panel where they
can change their password to something more familiar to the
individual user.
Getting your data to us
There are 2 options available to you, to get
your data to us:
1. Save your PST files to a USB hard drive, DVD or
other media, making sure
that they are encrypted or otherwise
protected and then send them to
us, for us to import for you
2. Take control and upload (import) your PST files onto
your new mailbox
from your new Outlook email
client.

Mailbox creation and data import
In advance of the migration, we will create
your new mailboxes. When you are ready, we then change your MX
record(s) to point to us. For immediate access to your email
(including provision for seamless mail-flow) you will be able to
use Outlook Web Access. Data is then migrated into your new
mailbox.
