Moving SmarterMail 15.x Domain to SmarterMail 16.x on a Different computer
Question asked by Don Blanchard - 10/18/2017 at 8:31 AM

I installed SmarterMail 16.x on a new server.  I want to move the domain from 15.x.  I turned both services off.  I moved the entire domain directory.  I then started the server back up.  When I login as Admin on the new server, I can see the domain.  I choose "Manage" the domain and impersonate a administrator.  From there it tells me there are 85 accounts but I can't see any of them.  When I try to login as one of the domain users, it says "Username or Password is incorrect".
 
Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?  I need to get the servers moved and it's just not working correctly.
 
Thanks for any help.

Hi Henry,
 
Are these the steps you followed when migrating the server?
Migrate SmarterMail to a Different Server: 
 
You'll need to copy over both the Domains and Service folders:
C:\SmarterMail\Domains
C:\Program Files (x86)\SmarterTools\SmarterMail\Service. (Note that mailConfig.xml and domainList.xml are the only files absolutely required from this folder.)

I followed the article but number 8 got me. I switched the dns and called it a different name. When I logged in, I put the new host name but didn't restart the service. It looks like it's working now. Thank You!
