Users are imported into your GroupWise system one post office at a time. The post office must already exist. Users are imported based on the context of their User objects in the LDAP directory.
In the GroupWise Admin console, configure your GroupWise system to communicate with the LDAP directory.
For instructions, see Section 6.1, Setting Up an LDAP Directory.
Click System > User Import.
(Conditional) If you have multiple LDAP directories, select the one from which you want to import the GroupWise users.
Select the post office into which you want to import the users.
(Conditional) If the context of the User objects is under the Base DN, browse to and select the LDAP context where User objects are located.
(Optional) Specify an LDAP filter and select additional options as needed.
