Broker` could not be accessed . The address book cannot run (error status: 0x80004005). "Now log out of the winxp workstation and login as an administrator or an user with administrative privileges .
Login to groupwise client as the user and now you can access the address book.
Once it is done , log out of the winxp workstation and login as an user without administrative rights to the workstation . The address book can be
accessed fine from now on.
