PC Adm: Moving a Postoffice to Another Server

• Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 3.2

1. At any workstation, log onto the network as an administrator.



2. Connect to the server and directory where the postoffice is located. NOTE: Connect to the server using a drive letter.



3. As in step 2, connect to the destination server and directory.



4. From the current postoffice location, type the following command so you have a hard copy of all the postoffice file attributes:

   attrib *.* /s > <filename>.txt




5. If Schedule+ is installed, change to the CAL subdirectory and type the following commands:

   attrib -h schedule.key
   cd..




6. From the current postoffice location, type

   xcopy *.* <drive>: /s /e

   where <drive> is the destination drive you specified in step 3.



7. Change drives to the new postoffice location. If Schedule+ is installed, change to the CAL directory and type the following commands:

   attrib +h schedule.key
   cd..




8. Use the <FILENAME>.TXT file you created in step 4 to manually change all previously read-only files back to read-only by typing

   attrib +r <filename2>

   where <filename2> is the file you want to make read-only.
   
   NOTE: Do not change these file attributes all at once (by using a wildcard). Mail will not function properly if you do.
