I am about to move a 1000 people to a new building my company is in the process of building. All the users exist in OTM today and would like to transfer that database into the new TM that is on order. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I guess I could try it with a procom script but I think it could be so much easier just to do a copy and paste then do a global change to make them new and upload it in the new PBX. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Copy OTM database?

You may not want to do a full backup/restore, as users will likely be at different TNs, cards in different positions, etc.
What you could do, is get a CSV export from OTM, change what you need in excel, then import it into the new TM. (Don't recall if OTM will allow an export like that though)
Worst case, you could do a PRT TNB to list all of your stations, then use something like perl to digest it into a format suitable for import to TM.
Unless of course, you are moving your PBX shelves as part of the move, at which point, 9201's suggestions are about the best way to go.
Cheers!

Sorry I should have stated this before. This will be a new CS1000E system from an CS1000 MG. So the TN's will have to change. So I was hoping to copy the actual database and paste it into the new TM database and just change the TN's in a a mass quantity and not one by one. Then just upload into the PBX. Thanks for the responses!
Changing the TN requires each TN be modified individually. You could do it in TM in installation mode (change each unit) and then transmit all the new TNs into your new PBX.
Can you not plan to build your new E with a minimum of changes from the MG and just restore the db from the old one into the new?

I'm going from an 81C to an E, so there are going to be have to be changes in the TN's, since the 81 has 15 card slots and the E has 8.
Thansk for the help. I think I am just going to go to my Nortel rep and see if there is something that can be done from thier side.
