If you have two NICs installed in the GroupWise Mobile Server machine, device synchronization could fail. When a user provisions an account with a mobile device, the secondary NIC is added to the GroupWise Event Configuration. This address is used to “slap” (that is, to send a notice that an event has triggered) the GroupWise Mobile Server machine whenever a change occurs in the user’s account. Because the wrong address is used, no slaps reach GroupWise Mobile Server. Therefore, synchronization does not occur.
The same issue can arise under other circumstances where a machine has multiple IP addresses, including virtual NICs and public vs. private IP addresses.
To resolve the problem:
In a Web browser on the GroupWise Mobile Server machine, display the following URL:
http://localhost/diag
Log in as the GroupWise Mobile Server administrator.
Click , then scroll down to the field.
In the field to the left of the equal sign (=), specify:
GroupWise.Listener
In the field to the right of the equal sign (=), specify one or more NIC addresses:
hostname=ip_address:port[,hostname=ip_address:port]
For example:
gmsserver=172.16.5.18:80 gmsserver=172.16.5.18:80,intellisyncserver=137.16.5.19:8080
Click .
Restart the Intellisync Mobile Suite service for the changes to take effect:
On your Windows desktop, click .
Right-click , then click .
Delete all the Intellisync Mobile Suite users.
Add the users again manually.
