Table Summary: On both Linux and Windows, ConsoleOne with the GroupWise snap-ins can be used to access GroupWise databases for domains and post offices and GroupWise objects in eDirectory located on NetWare, Linux, or Windows. When using Linux ConsoleOne to administer domains and post offices on NetWare or Windows, you must mount the NetWare or Windows server to your Linux machine. When using Windows ConsoleOne to administer domains and post offices on Linux, you can use a Samba share to access the Linux server from your Windows machine.

Table Summary: Domains and post offices can be located on NetWare, Linux, or Windows. We do not recommended that you run the Linux agents for domains and post offices located on NetWare and Windows. However, existing GroupWise 6.5 domains and post offices can be moved onto Linux servers so that the Linux agents can update them to GroupWise 6.5 for Linux. All the Linux agents can communicate as usual with the NetWare and Windows agents.

Table Summary: The GroupWise 6.5 for Linux Cross-Platform client can communicate in client/server mode with the GroupWise 6.5 POA on NetWare or Windows. The Cross-Platform client cannot access the post office directly, nor can it communicate with the GroupWise 6.5 POA across a dial-up connection over a modem. Remote mode is not supported in the Cross-Platform client.

Table Summary: On Linux, ConsoleOne with the GroupWise snap-ins can be used to access GroupWise databases for domains and post offices and GroupWise objects in eDirectory on NetWare, Linux, and Windows. On Windows, ConsoleOne with the GroupWise 6 snap-ins cannot be used to access GroupWise 6.5 for Linux domains and post offices on Linux. The general rule is that later GroupWise snap-ins can administer earlier GroupWise system components, but earlier GroupWise snap-ins cannot administer later GroupWise system components.
