The process and procedures for updating a Novell® GroupWise® 5.x system to version 6.5 are the same as when updating a GroupWise 6.x system to version 6.5. Refer to the following sections for instructions:
The GroupWise features and functionality that are new to you depend on the version of GroupWise 5 that you are updating from (5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 5.5 Enhancement Pack). For example, if you are updating from GroupWise 5.2, the new features and functionality added in versions 5.5, 5.5 Enhancement Pack, 6, and 6.5 are all new. If you are updating from GroupWise 5.5 Enhancement Pack, only the version 6 and 6.5 features are new.
What's New in GroupWise 6.5 includes only the changes made since version 6. For changes made in previous versions, refer to the following:
Version 5.2 to 5.5: What's New in GroupWise 5.5
Version 5.5 to 5.5 Enhancement Pack: GroupWise 5.5 Enhancement Pack Getting Started
Version 5.5 EP to 6: What's New in GroupWise 6
WARNING: Beginning with GroupWise 5.5, the Administration Agent's functionality was moved into the Message Transfer Agent (MTA) and the Post Office Agent (POA). If you are updating a GroupWise 5, 5.1, or 5.2 system, you need to make sure that you do not run the Administration Agent against the domain after you've started the GroupWise 6.5 MTA. Doing so can result in the loss of GroupWise 6.5 information.
