This redbook documents a third-party product for coexistence. By including the product in this book,
IBM/Lotus does not solely endorse this product for use in this type of environment. Other third-party

the administrator-based Domino Upgrade Services that come with Domino R5. This chapter follows
the same structure as in Chapter 5.
Chapter 8 provides details on the GroupWise5 client migration tool. It is part of Domino R5, and
enables the user to migrate their own data from GroupWise to Domino. The chapter explains
how to install the tool, how the administrator can then register the users in Domino with Domino
Upgrade Services, and lists the steps required by both the administrator and the user to migrate
the data. Finally, examples of the migrated data are given.
