Environment

Novell GroupWise 8

Situation

GroupWise 8 includes new functionality that requires you to extend the schema of any Novell eDirectory trees where you have GroupWise objects created by an earlier version of GroupWise.  The GroupWise 8 Installation program does not currently extend the eDirectory schema for you when you update to GroupWise 8.  Before you update your GroupWise system, use ConsoleOne to extend the eDirectory schema for GroupWise 8.

Resolution

  1. Install the GroupWise 8 snap-ins to ConsoleOne
  2. Click Tools -> GroupWise Utilities -> Check eDirectory Schema.  If the schema is current, a message notifies you.  If the schema is not current, you can use this utility to update to the current schema.
  3. Repeat this procedure for each eDirecotry tree that contains GroupWise objects.
