What Is GroupWise?
Novell® GroupWise® is an enterprise collaboration system that provides secure e-mail, calendaring,
scheduling, and instant messaging. GroupWise also includes task management, contact
management, document management, and other productivity tools. GroupWise can be used on your
desktop on Linux, Windows*, or Macintosh*; in a Web browser anywhere you have an Internet
connection; and even on mobile devices. Your GroupWise system can be set up on NetWare
Linux, Windows, or any combination of these operating systems.
The following sections include more details about what GroupWise provides and what you need to
do to set up GroupWise to best meet your needs.
Section 1.1, “What GroupWise Provides,” on page 17
Section 1.2, “What You Need to Do,” on page 19

1.1 What GroupWise Provides
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
1
GroupWise provides communication and collaboration services that are secure, highly available,
and easily accessible, as explained in the following sections:
Section 1.1.1, “Essential Communication and Collaboration Services,” on page 17
Section 1.1.2, “Available Anytime,” on page 18
Section 1.1.3, “Accessible Anywhere,” on page 18
Section 1.1.4, “Always Secure,” on page 18
1.1.1 Essential Communication and Collaboration Services
GroupWise provides a variety of tools to enable users to work together and work smarter.
Messaging: Send and receive mail messages, phone messages, and reminder notes. A mail
message is for general correspondence. A phone message is designed for those who take phone
messages for others. A reminder note includes a start date and, when accepted by the recipient,
is posted to the recipient’s Calendar.
Instant Messaging: Communicate in real time with other GroupWise users through
GroupWise Messenger. GroupWise Messenger lets you know when other users are online,
busy, or away from their desks. It also allows you to save conversations.
Scheduling: Schedule both appointments and tasks. When you schedule an appointment, you
can search other users’ Calendars to find free times for the appointment. When you schedule a
task, you can assign a priority and due date to the task. If the recipient accepts an appointment
or task, it is automatically added to his or her Calendar.
Calendaring: View and manage your appointments, tasks, and reminder notes in a Calendar
view. You can create multiple calendars
Task Management: Accept or decline the tasks you are sent, and track accepted tasks through
to completion. You can also turn any message into a task by adding it to your Checklist folder.
What Is GroupWise?
17
Contact Management: Manage information for your contacts, groups, resources, and
organizations, including being able to view, update, delete, and add information to the contacts
in your address book. In addition, you can view a history of messages sent to and received from
individual contacts.
Document Management: Store documents in GroupWise libraries. In a library, documents are
compressed to save disk space and encrypted to maintain security. With document
management, you can check in, check out, share, and version documents.
1.1.2 Available Anytime
GroupWise ensures that your essential communication tools are always available:
Caching: The GroupWise Windows and Cross-Platform clients include a Caching mode that
allows you to cache GroupWise information to your local drive and continue to work even
when you aren’t logged into your network mailbox.
LDAP Pooling: If you are using LDAP authentication for GroupWise mailbox authentication,
LDAP pooling ensures that there is always an LDAP server through which authentication can
be performed.
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
Clustering: To ensure that GroupWise data is always available and GroupWise components
are always running, you can install GroupWise in a cluster on NetWare, Linux, or Windows.
1.1.3 Accessible Anywhere
GroupWise lets you communicate and collaborate with other people using the device that is most
convenient:
Personal Computers: To access your mailbox, you can run the GroupWise Windows client on
any workstation that uses Windows 2000 or higher. On Linux and Macintosh workstations, you
can run the GroupWise Cross-Platform client.
Web Browsers and Mobile Devices: With GroupWise WebAccess installed, you can also
access your mailbox through a Web browser, a cellular phone, or a PDA (personal digital
assistant) such as Pocket PC*. The GroupWise WebAccess client formats information to best
accommodate the type of device on which it is being displayed. In addition, mailbox content
can be synchronized to your mobile device by using GroupWise Mobile Server or BlackBerry*
Enterprise Server
Other E-Mail Clients: GroupWise enables you to access your mailbox with any POP3,
IMAP4, and SOAP e-mail clients.
1.1.4 Always Secure
GroupWise provides extensive security measures to protect your information.
Encryption: To protect your information as it is stored in the various GroupWise databases
and moved across the network, GroupWise encrypts the information. Each piece of information
is encrypted differently through the use of randomly-generated encryption keys.
Open Security Standards: To further ensure that your information is secure while moving
across your internal network or across the Internet, GroupWise supports open security
standards such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/
MIME), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Transport Layer Security (TSL).
18 GroupWise 7 Installation Guide
Spam Protection: To protect you from seeing unwanted messages, the GroupWise Windows
client includes a Junk Mail Handling feature that lets you control unwanted Internet e-mail
messages. In addition, you can configure the Internet Agent (the GroupWise component
responsible for sending and receiving Internet e-mail messages) to reject messages from known
open relay hosts and spam hosts. GroupWise also works with partner products that provide
additional anti-spam solutions.
Virus Protection: GroupWise works with partner products to provide solutions that detect and
eliminate viruses.
For information about additional security solutions available for GroupWise through GroupWise
partners, see the Novell Partner Product Guide (http://www.novell.com/partnerguide).
1.2 What You Need to Do
GroupWise includes multiple components that you need to install to realize the full benefits of
GroupWise. However, some components might not be necessary, depending on your needs. The

Agent
Each GroupWise user has a mailbox in the post office; users run the GroupWise client (Windows,
Cross-Platform, or WebAccess) to access their mailboxes and to send and receive mail.
The GroupWise Post Office Agent (POA) delivers messages between users’ mailboxes in a post
office, and the GroupWise Message Transfer Agent (MTA) routes messages between post offices (if
there is more than one post office in the domain) and between domains (if there is more than one
domain in the system).

After you finish setting up your basic GroupWise system, you can review Section 3.4, “What’s
Next,” on page 72 to learn how you can expand your system.
3.2 Planning Your Basic GroupWise System
The GroupWise Installation program includes an Installation Advisor to help you install the
GroupWise files to the appropriate locations and a Setup Advisor to help you create and configure
your GroupWise system. Both Advisors provide information to guide you through the process.
If you are comfortable with your knowledge of GroupWise, you can skip this planning section and
continue with Section 3.3, “Setting Up a Basic GroupWise System,” on page 45. Otherwise, you
should review the following sections while filling out Section 3.5, “Basic GroupWise System
Worksheet,” on page 73. The worksheet lists all the information you are prompted for as you run the
Advisors.

To help with the above tasks, you can also review the GroupWise Wiki (http://wiki.novell.com/
index.php/GroupWise), which includes a Best Practices section.
IMPORTANT: If you plan to install GroupWise in a clustered server environment, refer to the
GroupWise 7 Interoperability Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw7) as you plan your
GroupWise system.
3.2.1 Determining Installation Locations
The Installation Advisor prompts you for information about the Novell eDirectoryTM tree where you
plan to create GroupWise objects and the network server locations where you plan to create
GroupWise directories and install files. The following sections prepare you to supply the required
information.
“Novell eDirectory” on page 26
“ConsoleOne” on page 27
“GroupWise Software Distribution Directory” on page 28
“GroupWise Languages” on page 29
Novell eDirectory
GroupWise is administered through eDirectory, the directory service provided by Novell. All
components, such as domains, post offices, libraries, and agents, as well as all users’ GroupWise
accounts, are configured through objects in eDirectory. You need to make sure that you have
eDirectory installed in your environment. eDirectory can be installed on NetWare, Linux, or
Windows.
26 GroupWise 7 Installation Guide
GroupWise 7 includes the Novell eDirectory CD to assist those who do not already have eDirectory
installed and want to install it on Linux. Follow the instructions in the Novell eDirectory Installation
Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir87) to install eDirectory, along with its latest
®
Support Pack, and ConsoleOne
before proceeding to install your basic GroupWise system.
Extending the eDirectory Tree’s Schema
The Setup Advisor must extend the schema of the eDirectory tree where you plan to create your
GroupWise system. Because all objects for a single GroupWise domain must reside in the same
eDirectory tree, installing a basic system (one domain) requires you to extend one tree only.
BASIC GROUPWISE SYSTEM WORKSHEET
Under Item 5: Tree Name, specify the eDirectory tree where you plan to create the GroupWise objects.
Making Sure Users Exist in eDirectory
You must make sure all users who will use GroupWise exist in eDirectory. GroupWise accounts can
only be assigned to eDirectory User objects and GroupWise External Entity objects.
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
GroupWise external entities represent non-eDirectory users and are added to eDirectory for the sole
purpose of assigning GroupWise accounts to these users. GroupWise external entities require
GroupWise licenses but not eDirectory licenses. You can add GroupWise external entities only after
you have installed GroupWise. Instructions for adding GroupWise external entities are provided in
Section 8.3.1, “Assigning GroupWise Accounts to Users,” on page 202.
ConsoleOne
GroupWise administration is performed through ConsoleOne, using the version listed in
Section 2.1, “GroupWise Administration Requirements,” on page 21. When you install GroupWise,
the GroupWise Administrator snap-in files are copied into an existing ConsoleOne installation. The
GroupWise Administrator snap-in files extend the functionality of ConsoleOne to let you administer
GroupWise. ConsoleOne considerations differ by platform:
NetWare and
Windows:
For a GroupWise system on NetWare or Windows, you need to decide which
ConsoleOne location you want use to administer GroupWise. This can be a
ConsoleOne location on a network server, or it can be on a local workstation. If you plan
to use ConsoleOne on a local workstation, you need to perform the GroupWise
installation from that workstation. For your convenience, ConsoleOne is included on the
GroupWise 7 Administrator for NetWare/Windows CD. The Installation program lets you
install ConsoleOne if necessary. You can also use the Installation program at a later
time to install ConsoleOne and the GroupWise Administrator snap-in files to additional
locations.
IMPORTANT: For a GroupWise system on NetWare, you cannot run ConsoleOne to
administer GroupWise at the NetWare server console. The GroupWise Administrator
snap-ins to ConsoleOne do not run in that environment.
Linux: For a GroupWise system on Linux, ConsoleOne must already be installed before you
set up your GroupWise system. GroupWise 7 includes eDirectory for Solaris*, Linux,
and AIX*, from which you can install ConsoleOne. ConsoleOne is installed to

GroupWise Software Distribution Directory
During installation, you are prompted to create a GroupWise software distribution directory on a
network server and then copy selected GroupWise software components to the directory.
You should consider the following when deciding where to create the software distribution
directory:
“User Access to the Directory” on page 28
“Disk Space Required for the Software” on page 28
User Access to the Directory
User access considerations depend on which GroupWise client users are running:
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
Windows
Client:
CrossPlatform
Client:
WebAccess
Client:
Users can install the GroupWise Windows client through a TCP/IP or mapped connection
to the software distribution directory. If you want users to install via a mapped connection,
you should create the software distribution directory on a server where you can provide
appropriate user access.
When users install the GroupWise Windows client, they can choose to copy it to a local
drive or they can run it from the software distribution directory. If you want users to be able
to run the GroupWise client from the software distribution directory, they must have a
permanent drive mapping to the directory.
Users can install the GroupWise Cross-Platform client from the GroupWise 7 Client for
Linux and Macintosh CD or from the software distribution directory, which requires user
access to the file system where the software distribution directory is located. However,
Cross-Platform client users cannot run the client from the software distribution directory.
They must install it locally.
The GroupWise WebAccess client does not require that users install any GroupWise
software on their workstations.
Disk Space Required for the Software
The disk space required for the directory depends on which software components you copy to the
directory. The maximum disk space required to store all the GroupWise software components for
one language is approximately 500 MB. For a breakdown by component, see Chapter 2,
“GroupWise System Requirements,” on page 21.
We recommend that you copy at least the GroupWise client files to the directory. This enables users
to install the GroupWise client from the distribution directory. Otherwise, you need to mount the
GroupWise 7 Client for Windows CD or GroupWise 7 Client for Linux and Macintosh CD as a
network volume or file system, or distribute the CD to individual users, unless you use one of the
software distribution methods described in “Distributing the GroupWise Client” in “Client” in the
GroupWise 7 Administration Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw7).
28 GroupWise 7 Installation Guide
All GroupWise software other than the client is used for administrative purposes only; if disk space
is an issue and you don’t mind accessing the GroupWise 7 Administrator CD for your platform when
you need to install one of the software components, you might want to leave the administrative
software on the CD.
NOTE: On Linux, you might want to install the GroupWise Administration component to your
software distribution directory. It includes the RPMs for GroupWise Check (GWCheck) and the
GroupWise Database Copy utility (DBCopy). These RPMs are not installed by the GroupWise
Installation program. For more information about these utilities, see “Standalone Database
Maintenance Programs” in “Databases” in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide (http://
www.novell.com/documentation/gw7).
BASIC GROUPWISE SYSTEM WORKSHEET
Under Item 3: Software Distribution Directory, specify the path for the software distribution directory.
Under Item 4: Select Software, select the software components you want copied to the software
distribution directory.
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
The Installation Advisor lets you create one software distribution directory. After you’ve set up your
basic GroupWise system, you can create additional software distribution directories if needed.
For example, if not all users can access a single software distribution directory to run the GroupWise
Windows client Setup program, you can create an additional software distribution directory on a
server they can access. For information about creating additional software distribution directories,
see “Software Directory Management” in “System” in the GroupWise 7 Administration Guide
(http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw7).
GroupWise Languages

any available language at any time.
The language selection affects the following GroupWise components:
GroupWise Administrator snap-ins for ConsoleOne
GroupWise agents
GroupWise client (Windows, Cross-Platform, and WebAccess)
For example, if you install English-US and German, you can run GroupWise Administrator and the
agents in either language. By default, GroupWise Administrator runs in the language in which you
are running ConsoleOne. Your users then have the choice of using either the English-US client or
the German client.

BASIC GROUPWISE SYSTEM WORKSHEET
Under Item 1: Select Languages, specify the languages you want to install for a GroupWise system. The
GroupWise Administrator languages are copied to the ConsoleOne location. The GroupWise agent and
client languages are copied to the software distribution directory.
For more information, see “Multilingual GroupWise Systems” in “System” in the GroupWise 7
Administration Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw7).
3.2.2 Planning Your Domain
The domain functions as the main administration unit for the GroupWise system. When you
configure GroupWise information in eDirectory, it is also stored in the GroupWise domain database.
From the domain database, the GroupWise agents distribute the information to each post office
database. Users then get the information, such as user addresses, from the post office database.
In a multiple-post-office system, the domain also organizes post offices into a logical grouping for
addressing and routing purposes, and enables you to scale your GroupWise system to meet your
current and future needs.
novdocx (en) 22 June 2009
As you create your basic GroupWise system, the Setup Advisor prompts you for information about
the domain. The following sections prepare you to supply the required information.
“System and Domain Names” on page 30
“Domain Directory” on page 31
“Domain Context” on page 32
“Domain Language” on page 35
“Domain Time Zone” on page 35
System and Domain Names
The domain requires a unique name. The name is used as the Domain object’s name in eDirectory. It
is also used for addressing and routing purposes within GroupWise, and can appear in the
GroupWise Address Book. The domain name can reflect a location, company name or branch name,
or some other element that makes sense for your organization. For example, you might want the
domain name to be the location (such as Provo) while the post office name is one of the company’s
departments (such as Research).
A domain names should consist of a single string. Use underscores (_) rather than spaces as
separators between words to facilitate addressing across the Internet. Do not use any of the
characters listed below in system and domain names:
ASCII characters 0-13 Comma ,
Asterisk * Double quote "
At sign @ Extended ASCII characters that are graphical or typographical symbols;
Braces { } Parentheses ( )
Colon : Period .
