Interoperating with and Migrating from Novell GroupWise Messaging Infrastructures to Exchange Server 2003

The topics in this section describe how to deploy Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 in a Novell GroupWise messaging environment and how to migrate from Novell GroupWise to an Exchange 2003 messaging environment using the tools that are included with Exchange Server 2003. Upon completion of these topics, you should have a basic understanding of how to integrate Exchange 2003 into a Novell GroupWise environment using Microsoft Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise and Microsoft Exchange Calendar Connector, and how to use the Exchange Migration Wizard to migrate Novell GroupWise users and mailboxes to Exchange 2003.

Before you deploy Exchange 2003 in a Novell GroupWise environment, you must have a thorough understanding of basic Novell NetWare, Novell Directory Services (NDS), and Novell GroupWise concepts. You also must have a thorough understanding of Exchange 2003, and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 deployment and administration concepts. If you are unfamiliar with concepts such as Novell GroupWise domains, post offices, the Active Directory® directory service and Exchange connectors, you must familiarize yourself with these concepts before deploying Exchange 2003. For more information, see the section "For More Information" in Introduction to the Exchange 2003 Interoperability and Migration Guide.
