Situation
MTA eDirectory Users
Synchronization Feature does not handle ''NGW:''
Attributes
GroupWise fields not synchronized with eDirectory user synchronization.
GroupWise fields not synchronized with eDirectory user synchronization.
Resolution
Working as designed.
Possible Workarounds:
- Use DirXML to make the update
- Sync all the user objects manually using ConsoleOne with the GroupWise Snapins; (You can use multiple object selection)
- Use the GroupWise Import/Export utility to do it from a comma delimited file.
Additional Information
MTA eDirectory Synch Feature was designed to allow changes made by
administrative users who were updating contact information, for
example like department and phone number; without having any
GroupWise specific task assigned and therefore not using GroupWise
Snapins; to be synchronized between eDirectory and GroupWise
databases. "NGW:" attributes are specifically for GroupWise use,
and due to this is supposed that who is using and handling them, is
also aware of GroupWise and is using the proper ConsoleOne Snapins
for this tasks.
