Situation
Unable to save documents to gw libraries when logged in as a normal
user to win 2003
Resolution
There is a registry key that the GroupWise client reads to find
out
if GroupWise is currently running and can thereby currently handle
integrations. In Win2k3 this key requires administrator rights in order
to read it.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows
nt\currentversion\perflib
If you grant set the permissions to allow users to read this registry
key then it should start working again.
