Environment

Novell GroupWise 7
Apple Macintosh OS 10.3
Apple Macintosh OS 10.4

Situation

How can the GroupWise client for Mac be customized to include the DNS name of the server before distributing it via a silent install?

Resolution

The file must be named .gwlocal.xml (since it starts with a dot you willneed to use the command line)and it must be in the GroupWise.app/Contents/Resources/lib directorythe contents of the file are:

<_default reg="sz">x.x.x.x<_default reg="sz">xxxx<_35_2E0 reg="key"><_default reg="sz">gmail.novell.com<_default reg="sz">1677

change the x.x.x.x above to the ip address (DNS name) of the server to be used.
