2.1 ConsoleOne on Windows

You can run ConsoleOne on Windows on any Windows machine that meets the requirements listed in GroupWise Administration Requirements in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

2.1.1 Installing ConsoleOne on Windows

When you create your initial GroupWise system using the GroupWise Installation program (install.exe) on Windows, the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne are installed to the ConsoleOne installation on that machine. If necessary, you can install ConsoleOne itself to the machine where you are running the GroupWise Installation program. You are also given the opportunity to copy the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne into a GroupWise software distribution directory for later use.

After you have set up your GroupWise system, you can use the GroupWise Installation program to install ConsoleOne and the GroupWise snap-ins from the GroupWise 7 Administrator for NetWare/Windows CD or you can run admin\install.exe to install the snap-ins from the software distribution directory to additional locations as needed.

2.1.2 Starting ConsoleOne on Windows

When you install ConsoleOne, a ConsoleOne icon is automatically created on your Windows desktop for starting ConsoleOne.

Before you start ConsoleOne, turn off file caching in the Novell Client to protect database integrity.

  1. Right-click the red N in the notification area, then click Novell Client Properties.

  2. Click Advanced Settings, select File Caching, then select Off.

  3. Click OK to save your change.
