Idiots Guide

Console One

Normal procedure to isntall groupwise is now to associate the workstation object in Console One with the GROUPWISE WORKSTATIONS group.

Next time a user logs into that workstation the groupwise install will run and configure its self. If for any reason that worstation gets re-imaged etc. it will re-install its self.

Manual Install

This is Depreciated

There is a push on Start > IT Support Applications > Application Installs > Groupwise Installer

File Locations

  • L:\Staff\groupWiseAddreessBookConverter\ Address Book converter Utility

Tweaking the installer

edit \\polymorph\MAIL\software\client\win32\setup.cfg to change install options, these incude:

  • Server IP
  • Language
  • Document Library integrations (wordperfect etc) disabled.
  • Notify loads at startup
  • Installer options and finsih prompt off, progress on.
  • Tip of the day on
  • PDA stuff off
  • Prompt until upgrade if new client version available.

NOTE: \\polymorph\mail\software\win32\setup.ini has been edited by Tom, to remove the option to chose installer language, this should not need touching again untill we put completly new version in here. Replicated by Martin in the L:\staff\gropewise\ directory
