19.4 Moving a Group

If necessary, you can move an eDirectory group from one post office to another. For example, you might need to move a group from a post office you are removing.

The group retains the same name on the new post office as it has on the current post office. If another object (user, resource, distribution list, group, or organizational role) assigned to the new post office has the same name, you must rename one of them before you move the group. For details, see Section 18.5, Renaming a Distribution List.

To move an eDirectory group from one post office to another:

  1. In ConsoleOne, right-click the Group object in the GroupWise View, then click Move to display the GroupWise Move dialog box.

    IMPORTANT:You must select the eDirectory Group object in the GroupWise View by listing GroupWise distribution lists. If you select the Group object in the standard Console View, you move the Group object from one eDirectory container to another, not the group/distribution list from one post office to another.
