Ok, you'll need to install the nw client on the windows server and
you'll need to enable IPX during the install. Make sure you can
successfully login to your existing tree.

Once all that works, install eDir 8.8 and add it into the existing tree.

To migrate your GroupWise:
Change the IP address and UNC path on the MTA and POA objects
Bring down the POA and MTA etc
Copy the directories to your new server
Install the POA and MTA and point them to the correct directories
Launch them and make sure basic functionality works

When the above all works, install the GWIA and WebAccess

Decommission old server
