2.6 Configuring the MTA for Address Book Synchronization

After you have completed the tasks listed in Section 2.5, Preparing for Address Book Synchronization, you are ready to configure the MTA for address book synchronization.

  1. In ConsoleOne, browse to and right-click the MTA object that you want to configure for address book synchronization, then click Properties.

  2. Click GroupWise > Exchange Synchronization.

    You receive the following notification:

    Exchange address book synchronization requires its own license. 
If you enable Exchange address book synchronization, 
your GroupWise system might be subject to additional licensing fees. 
 
We invite you to contact your Novell representative, reseller, or partner 
to learn more about this feature or for pricing and licensing information.

  3. Click OK to confirm your acceptance of licensing terms for the Exchange synchronization feature.

    The first automatic address book synchronization takes place according to the synchronization settings that you established in Step 4.
