Welcome to the GroupWise Cool Solutions Community

We recently asked Cool Solutions readers to tell us what they love about Novell, and how they've managed to keep Novell in their organization over the years, despite fierce competition and changes in fashion.

The results revealed a unique loyalty to the classic Novell product lines, and a highly pragmatic line of reasoning: if it works, why replace it?

Here is a nice sampling of responses, from people who have come to rely on Novell's technologies to make life easier for end users and IT alike.

We’re pleased to announce that Novell Vibe 3.3 is being released today, amidst a groundswell of growing customer interest.

We needed to get users to log calls via emails to our KACE K1000 Appliance. The KACE uses its own internal smtp server and sets its own email address as username@kacename.dnsname. As the appliance is within our LAN and our smtp relay is outside, where we have no control, we could not simply add the kbox domain as a subdomain. And for some reason, even though the appliance name can be resolved by dns, GroupWise would not send email to it. There are plenty of tips on how to make this work on other email servers but none for GroupWise, but after much trial and error we finally got it to work. Hope this helps save someone else some time.

Novell announces the immediate availability of Update 3 for the Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack. We continue to build on the quality and robust capability of Update 1 and Update 2, which shipped in December 2011 and March 2012, respectively.

"...have clean dashboards in Novell Vibe to help you display your content in a clear and concise way."

Sometimes, when speaking to customers who've migrated from Novell to Microsoft solutions, it seems to me like they've taken a step backwards. Please help me understand.

The method I used to upgrade an organisation to the latest GroupWise Client 2012, was to create my own URL Website. The users then needed to select the URL and had to follow certain instructions to upgrade their GroupWise Client. Here's how I did it.
