Environment
GroupWise 7 Exchange Gateway
Situation
When synching the addressbook from GroupWise to Exchange, the GroupWise users get created on the Exchange side with firstnamelastname in the alias field. Instead they would like the GW address of userid@novell.com to show up in the contacts (exchange address book).
Resolution
Edit the domain\wpgate\exchangegatewayname\gwexch.cfg file.
Add /SyncGWSMTPAddress
Save the file and restart the gateway
Note:
Note: There is something that you need to be aware of with the /SyncGWSMTPAddress switch. Let's say that Novell.com, who is GroupWise, bought Cambridge.com, who is Exchange, and we link the 2 through the gateway. By default, when jdoe from Novell.com synchronizes to Cambridge, the gateway provides no SMTP address, so the default policy on the Exchange side creates one, so I become JohnDoe@Cambridge.com. When using the /SyncGWSMTPAddress switch, when I synchronize over, my SMTP address on the Exchange side is now jdoe@novell.com, which is what people expect.
Make sure you add Cambridge.com (your exchange systems domain name) to your list of IDomains configured in ConsoleOne, otherwise reply messages may go through GWIA instead of through the Exchange gateway, since the GroupWise system won't know that Camebridg.com is a part of the system. One I added Cambridge.com to the list of known IDomains, then the message went through the Exchange gateway as expected.
In ConsoleOne, Select your GroupWise domain, Select Tools, GroupWise System Operations, Internet Addressing, under Idomains, add your Exchange systems internet domain name.
