You can validate the data in the domain and post office databases at any time without interrupting normal GroupWise operation. The frequency can vary depending on the size of your system and the number of changes you make to users, resources, and groups.
In the GroupWise Administration Console, connect to the domain where the database is located.
Browse to and click the name of the domain or post office where you want to validate the database.
From a domain, click Maintenance.
or
From a post office, click Maintenance > Post Office Database.
Select Validate Database, and then click Run.
You are notified if there are any physical problems, so you can then recover or rebuild the database. If the task takes a while to complete, see Monitoring Background Administrative Tasks.
If the Validate process reveals problems with the database, see Recovering Domain or Post Office Databases and Rebuilding Domain or Post Office Databases.
