Table Summary: Domains and post offices can be located on NetWare, Linux, or Windows. We do not recommend that you run the Linux agents for domains and post offices located on NetWare and Windows. However, existing GroupWise 6.x domains and post offices can be moved onto Linux servers so that the Linux agents can update them to GroupWise 7 on Linux. All the Linux agents can communicate as usual with the NetWare and Windows agents.
