[miket]

                I am upgrading Unity connection from 2.1 to 8.6 on new servers. The docs are really confuding. Has anyone done this and can tell me what docs to follow. One imolies tha tI have to upgrade to 7, then to 8. How do I get  the users and greetings off the existing Unity

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for quick reply. I looked at 8.6 guides. this one is a litlle better but issue i have is I have new servers that do not support 2.1 and I cannot upgarde existing server so I think I need another server same vintage as 2.1 that will support 7 then drs 2.,1 on temp server, then upgrade then DRS  onto new servers from interm serve then upgrade or just use cobaras and load 8,6.2a on new servers..

Risky , time cosuming and complicated . welcome to UC....,

Hope this makes sense
