I guess an example would be something like a Windows machine in a Workgroup; you have individual machines all with the same Workgroup so they can share files and whatnot. Now you want to upgrade to AD and a domain controller. So you have to migrate all your individual machines into the domain so they can get group policy and whatnot from the AD controller. It is similar in this case. You have a bunch of random individual accounts linked together by a domain (domain = A Workgroup from the previous example). Now you want to control them all via the Google Apps CPanel (AD) so you set that up and now you have to migrate all your individual accounts into new accounts that are CPanel controlled. This does take a bit of work and I believe Google is trying to make it easier. However during this process new accounts were created that basically shadow the old ones. The old accounts are still there and as noted you just need to export the data from one account to the other. I wish this was a bit easier; I know the data liberation guys are working on making it better. FYI I work at Google, but not on Google Apps. I am however familiar with this issue. -Alec > > Also, I recently learned that Lansing Community College (LCC) has been using > Google Apps, it looks like, since December 2007 > (http://tinyurl.com/yevpp6a), but maybe some of you knew that already. > > I recently started reading “The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison > to Google” (http://tinyurl.com/yal6prm) and now understand why Microsoft > sees Google as a rival, it’s not the search, it’s the utility.
