I do that sometimes. To migrate your data to the format used on Mac OS X, you'll need to use a couple of AppleScripts we included with QuickDNS Manager. The following assumes that you're upgrading a single server from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X (rather than replacing one machine with another): - Boot the server into Mac OS 9 - actually boot into it, as server software often won't work in the Classic environment. - Launch QuickDNS Remote 3.5.x for Mac OS 8/9 on the server. - Launch QuickDNS Manager 3.5.x on any Mac (Mac OS 8.5 or later) on the network. - In Manager, connect to your server. - Run the included AppleScript (included with Manager) named "Export Server Configuration". This saves all your zone data to a set of text files on the machine running Manager. It will create a folder with the same name as the server. - Now reboot the server into Mac OS X. - If you haven't done so already, install QuickDNS Remote (and Server) for Mac OS X. - Once again, in Manager, connect to your server. - On the machine running Manager, run the included AppleScript named "Import Server Configuration". Unfortunately, these scripts don't work with Mac OS X 10.1 or later, so you'll have to run QuickDNS Manager on a machine running a Mac OS version between 8.5 and 10.0.4 for the purpose of running these scripts. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy
