No, that would have to be automated somehow, and done after hours. That's
how we did it when we moved data from Groupwise and Notes to Exchange
during our standardization project a few years ago.  The moves were
scheduled and occurred the night before a new PC was issued to users at a
site.

Still, it is quite expensive to change systems.  In addition to almost 100 
personnel at the project's peak, there were substantial training costs
involved.  Every one of our 12000 employees was required to attend an
hour-long training session while their new machine (with software
preinstalled) was being set up for them.  The training focused on Outlook,
which was new to us at the time.
