Migrating standalone server to Tiger

[gw1500se]

There is plenty of information around for migrating LDAP to Tiger but I cannot find anything for migrating a standalone server. Can someone tell me where or how to migrate users on a Panther server to Tiger? TIA.

We’ve tried doing upgrades on client machines and have yet to succeed. Odd behavior occurs that we cannot clear up without doing an erase install so we have given up doing upgrades. I am afraid to try it with a server because that is much harder and traumatic to rebuild from scratch.

Various problems all are non-descript. For example extemely slow performance with activity monitor showing minimal cpu and disk activity. Same user on a different client machine worked fine. Erase install cleared it up.

Another user could not run mail, it would just hang unless the user logged on with a different client. Again Erase install cleared it up.

Yet another user had corrupted fonts. Erase install.

The list goes on. It was not worth fighting so we just did erase installs on all. No problems.
