Upgrading and Downgrading Considerations
(Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000 only)
When upgrading to a multi-level address book version from a single-level address book, the following
factors have to be taken into consideration:
● The system automatically creates a new address book with a different name and modifies the new
address book to a multi-level hierarchical address book.
● By default, the address book contains two levels:
 The top level (root) named "Main".
 Second level - All address book groups from the single-level address book are placed under the
"Main" group with their associated participants.
● Participants that were not previously associated with any group in the Address Book are placed in the
"Main" group.
● All participants in the Address Book appear in the "All Participants" group.
