HowTo - Migrate MCC configuration during upgrade from 6.0.3.0 to 8.0.

PROBLEM

Due to the change in mechanics between Version 6.0.3.0 (public folders controlled by prairieFyre services on the exchange server), and Version 8.0 (Downloading emails to the MiCC server via an IMAP connection and controlling routing from there), we do not offer to attempt a configuration migration during the upgrade wizard. 

WORKAROUND

If you wish to have the upgrade attempt to migrate from the old MCC configuration to current, you will need to add a registry key before performing the upgrade:

1. Open Regedit.exe .
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\prairieFyre Software Inc\Enterprise\ .
3. Add a String value named MigrateToMCCSimplifiedConfiguration .
4. Set the value of this string to true .

NOTE:  If you have already run the upgrade, you can add this registry key and then re-restore the 6.0.3.0 backup.  This will not give you a visual indication of completion, so you would need to leave the system to run and check in YourSite Explorer later to ensure all the queues have been migrated.
