6.3 Supporting Messenger Presence Display in GroupWise

GroupWise and Messenger can be integrated so that Messenger presence information displays in the GroupWise Windows client. Messenger presence enables users to easily choose instant messaging as an alternative to e-mail. Messenger presence icons appear in the From field of a received message, in the Quick Info for users specified in the To, CC, and BC fields of a new message, and in the Quick Info for users in the Address Book. Messenger presence is enabled by default.

To provide the GroupWise client with the information it needs to display Messenger presence, you need to modify the configuration of the Address Book for each domain where there are users who use Messenger.

  1. In ConsoleOne®, browse to and right-click the Domain object, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Address Book.

    Address Book property page

  3. In the Available Fields list, select Distinguished Name, then click the left-arrow to move Distinguished Name into the Address Book Fields list.

  4. Click OK to save your change.

  5. After the Address Book is properly configured, use the Client Options feature to enable or disable Messenger presence on a domain, post office, or user level.
