GroupWise 5.x and 6 Compatibility Matrix

Use the chart below to determine the compatibility of GroupWise® 5.x (5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, and 5.5 Enhancement Pack) and 6 components. The left-hand column lists the GroupWise 5.x components, and the GroupWise 6 components are listed across the top row.

To read the chart, locate the GroupWise 5.x component you want and read across the row until it intersects the column that contains the GroupWise 6 component you want.

Example 1: To see if you can use the GroupWise 5.1 client in client/server mode against a GroupWise 6 POA, locate Client - C/S in the first column, then read across the row to the POA column. The cell contains an S, which means the configuration is supported.

Example 2: To see if you can use GroupWise 5.5 Administrator to administer a GroupWise 6 domain, locate NWAdmin in the first column, then read across the row to the DPO column. The cell contains an NS, which means the configuration is not supported.

Example 3: To see if you can use the GroupWise 6 POA in the same domain as the GroupWise 5.2 MTA, locate MTA in the first column, then read across the row to the POA column. The cell contains an NS, which means the configuration is not supported. On the other hand, GroupWise does support the use of a GroupWise 5.2 POA in the same domain as the GroupWise 6 MTA.
