Table Summary: Domains and post offices can be located on Linux or Windows. Run the version of the GroupWise agents that matches the platform where the domains and post offices are located. All the Linux GroupWise agents can communicate as usual with the Windows GroupWise agents.

Existing domains on NetWare servers can be moved to Linux or Windows servers, so that the GroupWise 2012 agents can update them. For assistance, see Section 15.0, Migrating Away from NetWare.
