if you want to migrate users and data, setup the win2k server first as an additional server, make new replicas of all needed db’s on the new server. After that move users via admin-client to the new “home-server”. After all tasks are finished as you would, change the administration server for your db’s and the NAB. After this task you can switch off the old machine.

Hi,
I’ve more simple for you.
1- Stop your domino server on suse
2- via FTP download data directory and notes.ini
3- on your Windows 2000 server move the data directory and notes.ini on d:\lotus\domino
4- Make install of domino server with CD (with the directory d:\lotus\domino for program and d:\lotus\domino\data for data)
5- Edit notes.ini and modify Directory line and any reference to linux path. Save and Close.
5- And restart your domino server on Windows 2000 server.
With domino only use copy/paste, it’s more simple.

One final thing, make sure you do a compact -D and updall -R (don’t specify filename, so it does them all) from the win2k server prior to starting Domino for the first time. This will ensure you don’t end up with any index-related problems.
