Migrate from WGM to PM
Dear Mangers, exported "computers", "groups" etc. from Workgroup Manager on MacOS X 10.6.8 server and tried to import it into the Profile Manager on OS X 10.8.1, but failed. It tells "Filetype not supported". Is there a way to recycle the data from the WM?

Ok, then the migration plan is roughly clear. But the follow up question is about a manual, check list or other help to be able to "configure everything the same as in the workgroup manager".
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, thanks. That means then, Apple shifts to a new server tool, but doesn't offer help in using it, except by "Apple Pro Training Series: OS X Server Essentials: Using and Supporting OS X Server on Mountain Lion" or http://www.apple.com/de/osx/server/resources/documentation.html?
Profile manager only functions for Mac OS X 10.7 and Mac OS X 10.8. But you can still use your existing installation of Workgroup manager.
This is to give the IT administrators some breathing room.
What we are doing is to prepare the Profile Manager, this includes research, testing, ... . Before we make the switch. We're planning to update all our users to Lion. So by then Profile manager needs to be ready.
But it will take a lot of time to configure everything the same as in the workgroup manager. But unfortunatly you won't be able to import your computers, groups from workgroup manager in Profile manager.
