Upgrading 10.0.1 to 11.2 with openldap and SLES10

Hi guys,

I'm upgrading a client of ours who is currently running 10.0.1 to 11.2 on Friday.
We using omldapsync -u 13 -A to sync our users to Scalix so I will pull the ldif file across and get the openldap running first.

I've been warned that sometimes Scalix doesn't seem to "find/match" user accounts with their old mailboxes when using openLDAP., like the users show up, but as new users.

Anyone else come across this before, anyone have any tips for me?

I will use the following steps to do the upgrade unless there is a better/simpler way?

Create Scalix user and group with home dir /var/opt/scalix

Copy old scalix to /var/opt/scalix, will check ownership and permissions etc.

Install 11.2.0, and keep old mailstore.

Hold thumbs and pray...

Thanks.
