this is hard a little, i think. let's see if some osx guru, here, can give me some answers (and sorry for the lenght):
i currently run, since 4 years or so, a NT4 web server, IIS, hosting around 50 sites, 10 FTPs, a lot of registered domains users & admins. i also run a mail server (SLMail, http://www.slmail.com), which manages around 20 differents virtual mail servers. i have 32 IP addresses, even if i use just 3 or 4 of them for my sites (most of them are virtual, under the same IP), 1 for the mail server and 1 for a mirror PC. i also give connection as isp via phone calling, (2 modems, 2 static IPs), for my clients only, to give them a stable connection if they have to manage their sites. that's all (ehr...).
now, the question is: if i wish to move ALL from that nasty NT4 i hate (it was an heritage, not a choice!) to OS X, server or client with an apache web server and any other mail server, could anyone point me to some smart tool to do that?
i mean: what is scaring me is to have to re-do all the configurations about web sites, ftp servers, DNSs (i also run a dns machine tool), user password etc, and to do the same for the over 200 mail server users. is there some tools that is able to get all the configs&settings it needs from the NT4 - IIS (about IP, virtual folders, login/psswd, and note: the site folders are on an external SCSI disk, macVolume to be shared on my intranet ;-), so that i can reconfigure all without dying during the effort? and: is there a smart e-mail server sw ables to get configs from other sw of other platform?
is there anyone able to reply to this?! :-)
i mean: i'm sure someone already did that move. am i right? if yes, how's he did?!!
