75.2 GroupWise Check

GroupWise Check (GWCheck) is a tool that performs maintenance and repair tasks to keep GroupWise operating efficiently. It is essentially a standalone version of the Mailbox/Library Maintenance feature available in the GroupWise Administration Console. GroupWise Check checks and repairs GroupWise user, message, library, and resource databases without needing the GroupWise Administration Console. In addition to checking post office, user, and library databases, it also checks remote and archive databases.

GroupWise Check can be installed with the GroupWise client (unless you have specified in setup.cfg that it not be installed), and is available by clicking Tools > Repair Mailbox in the client in Caching and Remote modes after you complete the following:

  1. Locate the directory named gwcheck. This is a subdirectory of the directory where the client is installed (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\GroupWise).

  2. Locate grpwise.exe. It is usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\GroupWise.

  3. Copy all the files in gwcheck to the directory where grpwise.exe is located.

You can now run GroupWise Check in Caching and Remote mode. The GroupWise Check dialog box is titled GroupWise Mailbox Maintenance. You can also use Ctrl+Shift when accessing a Caching or Remote mailbox to run GroupWise Check before opening the mailbox.
