Special Notes on the Migration
Recycle Bin
By default, the Recycle Bin is disabled in a migrated repository. You can use the Laserfiche Administration Console to enable the Recycle Bin for your repository.
EVERYONE
EVERYONE is no longer a Laserfiche group. Laserfiche now uses the Windows security group with SID S-1-1-0 as the EVERYONE group. This EVERYONE group is a standard Windows security group that is the same across all Windows operating systems. The migration utility will automatically associate any objects that were associated with Trustee ID 1 with the S-1-1-0 SID.
EVERYONE is automatically granted the Bypass Filter Expressions privilege.
Expansion Databases
Laserfiche 11 does not use expansion databases. However, if your Laserfiche 7 repository has expansion databases, the migration utility will migrate the existing expansion databases. Be aware that Laserfiche 11 will not need to write new data to the expansion database.
User-Specific Registry Settings
Note: When updating from Laserfiche 7 to Laserfiche 11, any user-specific settings that were stored in the registry will be copied to the user's attributes in Laserfiche, and then removed from the registry to avoid any future potential conflicts. See the trustee attributes section for more information. Registry information that is machine-specific rather than user-specific (such as the list of attached repositories) will not be copied to user attributes, as it may not be relevant for any given user on all computers.
