Problem in using iwidmap

TS 6.7.2 Windows 2003

Hi All,

We have set up a new server to shift to TS V6.7.2. I have copied content store from our current TS 6.1 server and ran iwmigrate and iwaccessmigrate. I want to use TS groups instead of using local OS groups. In order to do that I ran the following command in my TS 6.1 box -

iwidmap -g -x d:\group_idmap.xml d:\iw-store\default

I created TS groups in target server by the same name and I modified the output file of the above command to have just the group name instead of <servername>\<groupname>. after doing so when I tried to import the xml using iwidmap -g -i e:\group_idmap.xml e:\iw-store\default it gave me an error message - "Invalid iwtsid specified for TS_Dept_Sales in file e:\group_idmap.xml"

I tried to update the token field in the xml with the id of TS group but I still get the same error message. Any help will be highly appreciated. Also if you think the process I am following is incorrect please correct me.


Another thing I noticed is that after iwmigrate when I browse through Y:\ and try to view permissions on a folder i dont see any item other than "Teamsite web preview" group. I think if the groups are not present in the server, it should display the SID of the groups that have permission on a folder - is this behaviour normal after iwmigrate process? Before running iwmigrate it displayed the SID in folder permissions as the groups were missing on the new server.

The iwidmap tool does perform lookups when it runs. Since you've named the TS groups with the same names as the domain groups, there is a name resolution conflict. Rename your TS groups slightly so that they don't match the domain group names.

Also, do NOT update the TOKEN values. Those are the internal IDs used by iwserver. Update only the IWGID values for TS groups.
