7.7 Reinitializing a User

If resynchronizing a device does not resolve discrepancies between data on a mobile device and data as displayed in GroupWise, you must reinitialize the user. For background information about resynchronizing, see Section 7.2, Resynchronizing a Device,

During reinitialization, the user’s GroupWise data is deleted from the Mobility system and is requested again from the GroupWise system. If the user has a large amount of GroupWise data and attachments, the reinitialization process might take a long time.

  1. Have the user delete the GroupWise account from his or her mobile device.

  2. In the Mobility Admin console, click Users Users icon.
