63.2 Manually Creating a Nickname for a Resource

To create a nickname for a resource:

  1. In the GroupWise Administration Console, browse to and click the resource name, click the Nicknames tab, and then click New.

  2. Fill in the following fields:

    Nickname: Specify a unique name for the resource. Do not use any of the characters listed in Invalid Characters in GroupWise Object Names and Email Addresses in the GroupWise 18 Installation Guide.

    First Name: (Not applicable for a resource.)

    Last Name: (Not applicable for a resource.)

    Post Office: Select the post office that you want to own the nickname. This can be any post office in your GroupWise system; it does not need to be the post office that owns the resource.

    Visibility: Select the Address Book visibility for the nickname. This determines where the nickname is available (system, domain, post office, or none). However, nicknames are not displayed in the Address Book unless you filter for them. In order to address a message to a nickname, a user must specify the nickname address, and the nickname must be available in the user’s post office.

    Expiration Date: If you want the nickname to no longer work after a certain date, click Expiration Date, and then select the desired date.

  3. Click OK to add the nickname to the list.

  4. Click Save, and then click Close to return to the main Administration Console window.
