The Zarafa Migration tool must be installed on a Windows system without any components of MS Exchange. Before installing the Migration tool make sure you have installed Outlook 2003/2007, the Zarafa client with the same version as the Zarafa server and .NET framework 3.x.

When closing the migration before completing the installation it is possible to save the configuration. This option is available when closing the migration tool in a dialog. When restarting the migration tool the saved values are picked up so the migration an continue.

If a config.cfg file is available in the same directory or specified by the -f command line option the config file will be used.
