How to migrate to a new pc

[GKern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have a notes 6.5.1 user who just got a new pc running XP pro. We 
installed notes and using his id file from the old pc attempted to start 
notes. Since a location document didn't exist all that info had to be 
re-entered. Is there an easier way to migrate an existing user to a new 
pc? One suggestion (from the domino 6 forum) was to copy the 
lotus\notes\data directory and all it's contents to the new pc BEFORE 
installing notes. We tried that and it didn't work. My thought is to 
uninstall notes from the new pc, re-do the install and then copy the id 
file, names.nsf and maybe notes.ini from the old pc to the new one before 
starting notes.

Comments anyone?

Regards, Jerry
