To move a postoffice from one server to another, follow these steps:  At any workstation, log onto the network as an administrator. Connect to the server and directory where the postoffice is located. NOTE: Connect to the server using a drive letter. As in step 2, connect to the destination server and directory. From the current postoffice location, type the following command so you have a hard copy of all the postoffice file attributes:

attrib *.* /s > .txt

 If Schedule+ is installed, change to the CAL subdirectory and type the following commands:

attrib -h schedule.key

cd..

 From the current postoffice location, type

xcopy *.* : /s /e

where is the destination drive you specified in step 3. Change drives to the new postoffice location. If Schedule+ is installed, change to the CAL directory and type the following commands:

attrib +h schedule.key

cd..

</li> Use the <FILENAME>.TXT file you created in step 4 to manually change all previously read-only files back to read-only by typing

attrib +r

where is the file you want to make read-only.

NOTE: Do not change these file attributes all at once (by using a wildcard). Mail will not function properly if you do.</li></ol>
