Environment
Novell GroupWise 6.5
Novell GroupWise 7
Situation
Manually assigned eDir attributes to GroupWise Resource objects are not synchronized in a GroupWise system.
Resolution
There are few eDir attributes that are not native to a GroupWise Resource object like, for instance Mobile, Street, Postal(ZIP) Code, City, RoomNumber. It is possible to assign those new attributes via ConsoleOne Schema Manager, however, any values filled in later are not synchronized in a GroupWise system address book.
This is considered being an Enhancement Request and we will look at it in any future GroupWise release.
