Disabling Client Auto-Update before Patching GroupWise
Problem
I wanted to be sure that nobody gets the new GroupWise Messenger client from the auto-update until I was able to put it through adequate testing.
Solution
Starting with SP1, you can disable the auto-update feature in ConsoleOne. So just install the snap-ins first and turn off auto-update.
This feature can be found in two places:
1. In the properties of the Messaging Agent under the Agent tab, select the option for Messaging. This will only stop the auto-update for users serviced by this agent.
2. In the properties of the Messenger Service Object, under the Novell Messenger tab, select Client Update. This will stop the auto-update from running to clients for multiple messaging agents if there are multiple agents under this object.
Installing the Snap-ins First
From the initial setup screen of the service pack, select Install Server.
After choosing your language, you'll be given the options of what to install. From here, just choose Admin Files Only and path it out to your copy of ConsoleOne.
After installing the snap-ins, you can then check off the auto-update and proceed to update your Novell Messenger system.
