We plan to upgrade two existing Sametime servers in a Domino 6.5.5 environment to Sametime 8. We would like to upgrade the Sametime servers before we upgrade the rest of the environment. Can we upgrade the Sametime servers to Domino 8 without upgrading the address book or will we need to upgrade the address book and system databases first?
