Sandra, The method I used when doing something similar (FW1-4.1 on HPUX) was to create the new environment completely on first a test network, then we had the luxury moving to a new network (different internet IPs and intranet IPs). So, there were no conflicts with hostnames, IP addresses, etc. Also, in doing the merging of the object files I ended up having to delete the old firewall objects and create new ones anyway. The new firewall object of course will be a different release and you'll use a different method to ensure communication (not fwputlic) between the management server and enforement point. Also had some problems/issues with checkpoint's procedures for doing all this and spent alot of time on the phone with support with Nokia. If possible, you'd be better off to recreate the objects and policy. If there are too many objects, then do the merge for that, but definitely recreate the policy files anew (from the new gui, which I think is what you mentioned below).
