Transfer notes to a new pc

I am doing about 150 rebuilds for my company. We are moving from IBM to Dell for some reason, but anyway. We have notes 8 we are keeping. The process right now for moving notes data is to start up notes on the new pc and only click next once, this lets notes creates the data directory under local set–app data- lotus-notes…

We then go into the notes directory on the old pc and transfer everything over. Can someone help me out with minimizing the transfer? I know we don’t need to bring everything over just the essentials. We replicate everything to servers if that makes any difference. I don’t want to have to replicate everything back on the new computer which is why I want to do the transfer.

Thanks for the help

You cold create a robocopy-script and use it on every machine.

Subject: files

Good idea, but my question is more or less which files I need to transfer

Subject: the files are…

From the notes \data directory:

*.nsf (anything ending in nsf would be a local database or local replica

notes.ini

*.id (any Id files)

desktop*

workspace*

And for anyone with developer access, *.ntf files.
