The GroupWise Installation Advisor helps you install the GroupWise software. It then launches the GroupWise Setup Advisor, which helps you set up your first domain and post office. The Advisors prompt you for the information in this worksheet. You should print the worksheet and carefully fill in the information for your system.

Item |
Explanation |
|---|---|
|
1) Select Languages: |
Specify the languages to install for the GroupWise Administrator snap-ins to ConsoleOne, the GroupWise agents, and the GroupWise clients. See GroupWise Languages. |
|
2) ConsoleOne Path: Windows default: c:\novell\consoleone\1.2 Linux default: /usr/ConsoleOne |
Specify the path to a ConsoleOne location, either on the local workstation or on a network server. The GroupWise Installation Advisor installs the GroupWise Administrator snap-in files in the specified location. Your existing ConsoleOne installation must meet the version requirements listed in Section 2.1, GroupWise Administration Requirements See ConsoleOne. |
|
3) Software Distribution Directory: NetWare default: \\server\vol\grpwise\software Linux default: /opt/novell/groupwise/software Windows default: c:\grpwise\software |
Specify the directory path for the software distribution directory. If the directory does not exist, it is created. The path should be from the perspective of the machine you plan to use to install GroupWise. |
|
4) Select Software:
|
Select the software you want copied to the software distribution directory. |
|
5) Tree Name: |
Specify the name of the eDirectory tree where your domain and post office will be created. Because GroupWise introduces new objects into the tree, the eDirectory schema must be extended. See Novell eDirectory. |
|
6) System Name: |
Specify a one-word name. Names can reflect companies, locations, and so forth. |
|
7) Domain Name: |
Specify a one-word name. Names can reflect locations, organizations, and so forth. |
|
8) Domain Directory: |
Specify the path for the domain directory. If the directory does not exist, it is created. On NetWare, do not use a directory name that exceeds 8 characters. On Linux, use lowercase letters. The path should be from the perspective of the machine you plan to use to install GroupWise. See Domain Directory. |
|
9) Domain Context: |
Specify the eDirectory context where you want to create the Domain object. Make sure the context exists before you start installing GroupWise. See Domain Context. |
|
10) Domain Language: |
Specify a language for the domain. The language determines the sort order for items in the GroupWise Address Book. See Domain Language. |
|
11) Domain Time Zone: |
Specify the time zone where the domain is located. The time zone information is used to ensure that times for messages sent between time zones are adjusted properly. See Domain Time Zone. |
|
12) Post Office Name: |
Specify a one-word name. Names can reflect locations, organizations, and so forth. See Post Office Name. |
|
13) Post Office Directory: |
Specify the path for the post office directory. If the directory does not exist, it is created. The path should be from the perspective of the machine you plan to use to install GroupWise. |
|
14) Post Office Context: |
Specify the eDirectory context where you want to create the Post Office object. Make sure the context exists before you start installing GroupWise. See Post Office Context. |
|
15) Post Office Language: |
The post office language defaults to the domain language. Specify a different language if you do not want the post office to use the default domain language. See Post Office Language. |
|
16) Post Office Time Zone: |
The post office time zone defaults to the domain time zone. Specify a different time zone if the post office is not in the same time zone as the domain. |
|
17) Post Office Link:
|
Select whether you want the MTA to link to the post office through a TCP/IP connection to the POA or a direct connection to the post office directory. See MTA Link to the Post Office. If you mark , skip to worksheet item 20. |
|
18) POA Network Address:
|
This item applies only if you selected TCP/IP as the post office link type (worksheet item 17). Specify the IP address or DNS hostname of the POA’s server. By default, the POA listens for the GroupWise client on Client/Server port 1677. If this port is already being used, specify a different C/S port number (for example, 1678). If the MTA and POA are communicating using TCP/IP, the POA listens for the MTA on Message Transfer port 7101 by default. If this port is already being used, specify a different MT port number (for example, 7111). By default, the POA uses HTTP port 7181 for its Web console. The Web console enables you to view POA information through a Web browser. If this port is already being used, specify a different HTTP port number (for example, 7183). |
|
19) MTA Network Address:
|
This item applies only if you selected TCP/IP as the post office link type (worksheet item 17). Specify the IP address or DNS hostname of the server running the Message Transfer Agent. By default, the MTA listens for the POA on Message Transfer port 7100. If this port is already being used, specify a different MT port number (for example, 7103). By default, the MTA uses HTTP port 7180 for its Web console. The Web console enables you to view MTA information through a Web browser. If this port is already being used, specify a different HTTP port number (for example, 7182). |
|
20) Post Office Users: |
Specify the users who will have mailboxes in the post office. The Setup Advisor lets you browse the eDirectory tree to select the users you want. Adding users at this point is optional. After the Setup Advisor has finished, you can add users to the post office at any time by using ConsoleOne. See Post Office Users. |
|
21) Agent Platform:
|
Specify the platform (NetWare, Linux, or Windows) where you want to run the GroupWise agents. See Agent Platform. |
|
22) Installation Path: NetWare default: \\server1\sys\system Linux default: /opt/novell/groupwise/agents Windows default: c:\grpwise |
Specify the path to the directory where you want to install the agents. We recommend that you install the NetWare agents to the sys:\system directory to simplify the use of startup files and ensure that dependent NLM programs load properly. The Linux agents are automatically installed into /opt/novell/groupwise/agents. You can install the Windows agents to any directory on the Windows server. Because the installation is done from the Windows server, the default is c:\grpwise. See Agent Location. |
|
23) Windows Installation Options:
|
This item applies only if you are installing the Windows agents. Specify the installation options you want to use. The Install GroupWise Agent Software option needs to be selected to install the files. The Install and Configure SNMP for GroupWise Agents option requires the SNMP service to already be enabled on the Windows server. If SNMP is not enabled, this option is dim in the Installation Advisor. The Install as Windows Services option configures the agents as Windows services. |
|
24) Language: |
Specify the language in which you want to be able to run the agents. See Agent Language. |
|
25) Windows Service Information:
|
This item applies only if you are installing the Windows agents as Windows services. Select whether you want the services to use the local system account or another user account. If the domain and post office directories are on the same Windows server as the agents, you can use the local system account. If the domain and post office directories are on a different server, specify a different user account that exists in eDirectory and has rights to the domain and post office directories. Select whether you want to manually start the services or have them start automatically when the server starts. |
