Migrate
There are various tools for Migration. You can use ActiveSync or SyncML to synchronize the contacts and calendars or you can import calendar *.ics and CSV file for contacts.

Migrate IMAP accounts with a CSV file
To migrate users and e-mail through IMAP you can use the script below. You can use it to migrate from Exchange or any other server that supports IMAP. You need to create a CSV file with this format:
"Group in GO 0","Email address 1","First name 2","Middle name 3","Last name 4","Password 5","GroupOffice User name 6"
Then you need to adjust the variables at the top of the script and run it.

Convert E-mail MSG files to EML files
Group-Office can display EML e-mails but not MSG files. So if you have MSG files you need to convert them. We used a perl script and a bash script to convert them all. You can find the tutorial here:
Migrate an e-mail domain from one Group-Office to another
You might have a need to transfer all mailboxes and aliases to another mailserver. If both mailservers run on the Group-Office mailserver solution with versiopn 3.6 or higher this is very easy. On the old server run:
php /usr/share/groupoffice-mailserver/export_domain.php --domain=example.com --targethost=newmailserver.example.com
Make sure you can connect with the root user with ssh to the new mailserver.
When this has succeeded you can run the following command to import the mailboxes:
php /usr/share/groupoffice-mailserver/import_domain.php --domain=example.com
After that you can adjust all mailboxes on the Group-Office database with this SQL command:
UPDATE em_accounts SET host='newmailserver.example.com' WHERE username LIKE '%@example.com';
Migrate entire linux server
Not really in the scope of Group-Office. But I used this script once to copy an entire Linux server to a new fresh debian installation. Change MIGRATEUSERS to 1 to copy all the users and groups with a UID greater then 500. Change the sources list to suit your needs. Make sure you have trailing slashes for directories otherwise you will sync them one level too deep.
It's also necsarry to create an SSH keypair if you don't have one yet:
ssh-keygen
Then copy it to the other server:
ssh-copy-id root@example.com
migrate.sh
#!/bin/bash
TARGET=root@example.com
MIGRATEUSERS=0
SOURCES="/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub /root/passwd.mig /root/shadow.mig /root/group.mig /quota.user /quota.group /home/ /var/www/ /var/lib/mysql/ /vmail/ /usr/share/groupoffice/ /usr/share/www/ /usr/local/kringloopplanner/ /etc/postfix/ /etc/dovecot/ /etc/mailname /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ /etc/apache2/ssl/ /etc/groupoffice/"
export UGIDLIMIT=500
awk -v LIMIT=$UGIDLIMIT -F: '($3>=LIMIT) && ($3!=65534)' /etc/passwd > /root/passwd.mig
awk -v LIMIT=$UGIDLIMIT -F: '($3>=LIMIT) && ($3!=65534)' /etc/group > /root/group.mig
awk -v LIMIT=$UGIDLIMIT -F: '($3>=LIMIT) && ($3!=65534) {print $1}' /etc/passwd | tee - |egrep -f - /etc/shadow > /root/shadow.mig
#the H option preserves hard links
for source in $SOURCES; do
rsync -vaH -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa" $source $TARGET:$source
done
if [ $MIGRATEUSERS -eq 1 ]; then
ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa $TARGET "cat /root/passwd.mig >> /etc/passwd"
ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa $TARGET "cat /root/shadow.mig >> /etc/shadow"
ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa $TARGET "cat /root/group.mig >> /etc/group"
fi
The new server had MySQL 5.1 which uses a different table structure. Running the following command fixed that:
mysql_upgrade -h localhost -u root -p<password>
