How to Enable and Customize Novell GroupWise Proxy Addresses

This topic explains how to enable and customize Novell GroupWise proxy addresses.

Before You Begin

To successfully complete the procedure in this topic, ensure that your environment meets the following requirements:

• You already have an existing Microsoft Windows® network, including an Exchange organization, and the Active Directory® directory service is deployed.

• You have Exchange Administrator permissions to install an Exchange 2003 server in the Exchange organization.

• In Exchange System Manager, you have selected the Display routing groups and Display administrative groups options on the properties page for the organization object.

Also, ensure that the server on which you install Exchange 2003:

• Is running Windows Server 2003.

• Has network connectivity to the Novell NetWare server running the Novell GroupWise API Gateway.

• Can resolve the name of the Novell NetWare server.

• Has Novell NetWare Client for Windows installed.

• Lists you as a member of the Administrators group on the server on which you install Exchange 2003.

Procedure

To enable and customize Novell GroupWise proxy addresses

1. Start Exchange System Manager: On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.

2. Expand Recipients, and then click Recipient Policies.

3. In the details pane, right-click Default Policy, and then click Properties. You can also create a new recipient policy.

4. On the policy's E-Mail Addresses (Policy) tab, select the GWISE check box (this enables the address), ensure that the GWISE address entry is selected, and then click Edit.

5. In the Address box, modify the address format. For example, you can set the address format to Exchange.First Administrative Group.&d. A user whose display name is Birgit Seidl receives a Novell GroupWise address of: Exchange.First Administrative Group.Birgit Seidl. For more information about placeholders in GWISE address generation rules, see Chapter 3, "Interoperating with and Migrating from Novell GroupWise Messaging Infrastructures."

6. After you configure the address formula, click OK.

7. In the Default Policy Properties dialog box, click OK.

8. A message box appears asking whether you want to update all corresponding recipient e-mail addresses to match the new addresses. To run the Recipient Update Service immediately, click Yes. To update the addresses the next time the Recipient Update Service runs, click No. Non-Exchange addresses are always updated, even if you made manual changes to specific addresses.

9. Wait for the Recipient Update Service to populate the Exchange address lists. The time required to populate the lists varies depending on the update interval set on the service.
