In order for you to be able to use ConsoleOne on Windows to administer GroupWise domains, post offices, and agents that are located on Linux, the Linux servers where the domains, post offices, and agents are located must be accessible from Windows.
To make a Linux server visible from Windows, you need to configure it so that you can map a drive to it as if it were a Windows server.

Open Enterprise Server (OES) Linux |
Use the NetWare Core Protocol (NCP) Server to create an NCP volume on the Linux server that will be visible from Windows just as a NetWare volume would be. On the Linux server, become root, then enter the following commands: ncpcon create volume volume_name folder ncpcon set cross_protocol_locks=1 From a Windows workstation or server where the Novell client is installed, you can now use the Novell Map Network Drive feature to map a drive to the volume on your Linux server, and Windows-type file locking is respected by Linux.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) |
Use Samba to create a Windows share on the Linux server that will be visible from Windows just as a folder on another Windows server would be. For instructions on setting up a Samba share, see From a Windows workstation or server, you can now use the Windows Map Network Drive feature to map a drive to the folder on your Linux server. |
After you have made the Linux server visible from Windows:
Map a drive to the domain folder on the Linux server.
In Windows ConsoleOne, click Tools > GroupWise System Operations > Select Domain.
Browse to and select the domain folder, then click OK.
You can now use Windows ConsoleOne to administer all GroupWise objects that belong to the domain that is located on Linux.
