Document #:10018

Synopsis:
The MSBOX utility can be used with the -plugin flag to convert the type (Registry, NT, Database, DataCenter) of one or more mailboxes

More Information:
To convert mailboxes from one plugin type to another, execute the following steps:
  1. Execute MSBOX with the -list flag to get a list of all mailboxes in the target domain of the original plugin type, directing output to a file. To specify the plugin type, enter the number value corresponding to the plugin:
    0 =Registry mailbox
    1 =NT mailbox
    2 =Database mailbox
    4 =DataCenter mailbox
    NOTE: In MailSite 6 and later, SQL type mailboxes use the plugin number of 0. DataCenter mailbox plugins are no longer used.

    For example, the following command lists all Registry mailboxes in the domain rockliffe.com:
    msbox -list rockliffe.com 0 > mailboxes.txt
  2. Execute MSBOX again using the -plugin option, specifying the file that contains mailboxes and the target plugin type. This example converts the Registry mailboxes listed in the previous step to Database mailboxes. You must already have the mailboxes defined in the database.:
    msbox -plugin @mailboxes.txt 2
