Trying to migrate from Groupwise 5.2 to Groupwise 5.5
Dear all, My name is Pablo Vazquez. I am trying to migrate my client�s Groupwise 5.2 system to Groupwise 5.5 (thing that I have done a lot of times in different clients) but the domain database is so corrupt that I cannot migrate even when I have rebuilt the base. As they do not have any good backup of the wpdomain.db I think that my only chance to migrate is to install the Groupwise 5.5 system on the same NDS Tree, make the Groupwise 5.2 and 5.5 coexist and then start moving users from Groupwise 5.2 to Groupwise 5.5. The questiona are : Is that solution possible ? Could ...

GroupWise 5.5 to GroupWise 6.5 #2
I currently am using GroupWise 5.5e on a Novell 4.11 server . I want to go to GroupWise 6.5 on a Windows 2000 Server computer but I can not find any thing that tells me how to move or migrate the database.. Has anyone done this.. It's pretty much just a case of copying the domain and PO directories to Windows, running the Windows agent installs and changing paths in ConsoleOne - UNLESS you have external document storage locations for DMS -that needs some extra help. -- Danita Zanre Novell Volunteer Sysop www.caledonia.net/iris.html > It's pretty much just a cas...

Groupwise 5.2 #2
I have setup an Everyone group in Groupwise 5.2. Can someone from outside our PO then just address an email everyone@abcde.com and everyone in our network that is in that Everyone group get that email? Thanks, Marty Only if you've enabled Groups on your GWIA. I honestly don't remember if that's a feature with 5.2 or not. I know it's a feature now. By default this feature is disabled. It's a /group switch and it goes in the gwia.cfg file. Matt -- Matt Ray MC Consulting - GWGuru.com MCNE, CNI, LPI, CLS, CNS Novell Gold Reseller mra...

groupwise 5.5 to 6.5 migration #2
I have installed a new Groupwise 6.5 server and now need to migrate the 5.5 system to the 6.5 system. I have run the upgrade wizard on the domain and noticed the version number went from 5.5 to 6.5 ( this is what should happen) I then ran the wizard on the PO but can't get the PO to display the correct version when I check it useing console1. I must be doing something wrong, but I have done the process ( with minor changes ) and still can't seem to get it to update the PO. Any help ???? Stop the MTA and the POA. Start the mta manually, wait 5, start the poa, make ...

Groupwise 5.2.6 #2
I posted and asked where to get the latest client for 5.2.6. I was told in the Softeare Dist Directory under win32. However when I go to the Software Dist Directory that is listed in the POA the destination does not exist on my server. Must have been deleted or moved. Anyway, I cannot find it. I downloaded the groupwise 5.2.6 upgrade file and just want to copy the files so I will have the latest client. So I click on the copy only the files option and navigate to the direcotry that is listed in the POA as the Software dist directory and I get a message that says "The selecte...

Migrate from Groupwise 6.5 on Small Business Server to Groupwise 7 on OES 2 Linux x64
I am working with a company that has Small business server 6.5. I want to migrate it to an evaluation version of Groupwise 7.0.3 linux on OES2 Linux X64. They have only 5 users, One tree, and One Post Office. Can I migrate a licensed version to a evaluation version if the user, tree, and post office limitations are met? Can I use the Groupwise Migration Utility? Danita suggested in the previous post Mig GW 6.0->7.0 to use the Utility rather than dbcopy. The documentation states that The Server Migration Utility moves GroupWise components from one server to another. It does not mo...

Groupwise 5.2 migration
I am planning a migration of a Netware 4.11 server running GroupWise 5.2 to new hardware, Netware 6 and GroupWise 5.5 My original intention was to proceed as follows: 1.) Upgrade GroupWise to 5.5 2.) Migrate the server to Netware 6 on new hardware using the Migration Wizard. Is this sound? Will I need to re-install GroupWise 5.5 after the migration? Are there any pitfalls?

Groupwise 5.5 to Groupwise 6.5 migration
I have a bit of problem and not sure which way I should tackle this one. I have 2 x Netware 4.11 servers, which will be upgraded to Netware 6.5 and one of these servers have Groupwise 5.5 which will be upgraded to Groupwise 6.5. The one server is being used for Groupwise archiving and currently setup for UNC for archiving, i.e. p:\\ab_hp, on this server I was planning on using the migration wizard as this server also holds the user data. On the 2nd server which Groupwise is running and the clients are configured for tcp/ip connectivity to the groupwise system. This server onl...

Restoring Groupwise 6.5.2 backup on NW 6.5.2. TSAFS error
Hello - backing up a GW 6.5.2 cluster with Syncsort backup Express 2.1.5D. We're using the GWTSA. Backup runs fine. Restore is not going as well though. I have created a cluster resource called "restore" and am trying to make this our restore area.. except when I try to restore files here, the TSAFS yells at me (via the BEX logs) that I am trying to restore to an invalid path.. BEX support is confident that the data backed up and that BEX is trying to send the data, but TSAFS is not cooperating. So I own it.. There is a TID #10094692 which refers an issue like this to NW6...

Groupwise 5.5.5 showing X-Mailer 5.5.2
Hi, I applied Groupwise SP5 patch to Groupwise and its still listing the x- Mailer as 5.5.2. This is a problem because some organizations blacklist you if you don't have a fully patched Groupwise.
