Presently we have a Domino R5 server which runs fine. we need to upgrade this to either domino 8.5 or exchange 2010.
The OS is win 2000 advanced server, is there any way to directly upgrade from R5 to 8.5 . if no can u please let me know the process, as i would like to stick with domino.
Regards
Mithun
Subject: Yes, you can do it
Actually I did it couple months ago.
I did not have any problems with update. Just few issue into application (f.x. we did function with similar names that appeared in 6++ version, f.x. strleft and strrigth)

You can do just make sure to comply with the requirements of hardware and software for Domino 8.5

We recommend you do a clean install, which copies the data, after that updating the format of the database to ODS 51
Subject: Upgrade to 8.5
The present domino runs on win 2000 advanced server , so 8.5 wont support it .
so in case if i want to install in a fresh system and migrate the present R5, Is there any tool or anything to copy the present mail files , etc to the new system. can u explain the process or give any links
