Hello Peter,

I'd suggest starting with the quickstart guide:
http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/quickstart.html

Also set up a test server and try to import the data in there to see
what could possibly happen (and from this list, things will happen :)

We are about to try moving to 2.4 ourselves, so I'd be interested to
hear on return of experiences from the knowledgeable people on this
list.

Cheers,
Steph
