We’ll meet to discuss different data migrations we have worked on. Some possibilities include: – Migrating between mail servers (eg upgrading Exchange, moving from GroupWise to Exchange) <\/em>
\n– Migrating from Linux to Windows or vice versa <\/em>
\n– Migrating from MS Office to LibreOffice<\/em><\/p>\n

Bring examples of migration projects you have worked on, and upcoming migrations that you are planning (or procrastinating about…)<\/em><\/p>\n

Meeting Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

– What systems have you migrated?
\n– What lessons and best practices have you learned?
\n– What migrations are coming up? What are the challenges?<\/p>\n

### Migrating from Exchange 2003<\/p>\n

– The customers are in their 80s
\n– Marc is moving them to cloud-based email for simplicity
\n(business Outlook.com)
\n– What will they do for backups? (No)
\n– They were on older versions of Outlook
\n– Comparisons: https:\/\/products.offi…<\/a>\u00ad
\n– Are there backdoors?
\n– Some companies transferred to outlook.com and lost emails, so it is easier to move mails one by one
\n– You need to look for PST files as the user
\n– Look for autocompletions : outlook.nk2 (also see nk2view)<\/p>\n

### Dealing with people who leave<\/p>\n

– Do you let them delete files off their machines?
\n– How do you separate personal and work stuff?<\/p>\n

### Passwords<\/p>\n

– ophCrack uses rainbow tables
\n– Passwords are easy to crack with Hashcat
\n– Are there ways to be clever with short passwords? (No)<\/p>\n

### Everything is terrifying<\/p>\n

– scam emails
\n– clickjacking
\n– phishing and spear phishing
\n– bootstrapping from small amounts of data to larger amounts
\n– Cryptolocker<\/p>\n

### PST files<\/p>\n

– Mail archive format for Outlook
\n– You should not keep them on network shares<\/p>\n

### Migrating file shares<\/p>\n

– It is important to have only one writeable copy at a time
\n– Migrating file shares to Linux. There are problems:
\n+ Shadow copies
\n+ Sometimes permission sets have issues<\/p>\n

### Virus removal tools<\/p>\n

– MalwareBytes
\n– Microsoft Security Essentials
\n– HijackThis (logging)
\n– CCleaner<\/p>\n

For user education:<\/p>\n

– http:\/\/cr-handouts.dy…<\/a>\u00ad
\n– ninite.com for getting software<\/p>\n

### Other recommendations<\/p>\n

– BlueGriffon website builder
\n– Zikula PHP framework\/CMS (based on PostNuke)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
