Table Summary: On both Linux and Windows, ConsoleOne with the GroupWise snap-ins can be used to access GroupWise databases for domains and post offices and GroupWise objects in eDirectory located on NetWare, Linux, or Windows. When using Linux ConsoleOne to administer domains and post offices on NetWare or Windows, you must mount the NetWare or Windows server to your Linux machine. When using Windows ConsoleOne to administer domains and post offices on Linux, you can use a Samba share to access the Linux server from your Windows machine.

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 6.5 or 7 domains and post offices can be moved onto Linux servers so that the Linux agents can update them to GroupWise 8 on Linux. All the Linux agents can communicate as usual with the NetWare and Windows agents.

Table Summary: The GroupWise 8 Mac/Linux client can communicate in client/server mode with the GroupWise 8 POA on NetWare or Windows. The Mac/Linux client cannot access the post office directly, nor can it communicate with the GroupWise 8 POA across a dial-up connection over a modem. Remote mode is not supported in the Mac/Linux client.

Table Summary: The GroupWise 8 Windows client can communicate in client/server mode with the GroupWise 8 POA on Linux. The Windows client cannot access the post office directly.

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 7 domains and post offices can be moved onto Linux servers so that the Linux agents can update them to GroupWise 8 on Linux. All the Linux agents can communicate as usual with the NetWare and Windows agents. Although most GroupWise 8/GroupWise 7 agent combination are supported, two combinations are not supported.

Table Summary: The GroupWise 8 Mac/Linux client cannot communicate in client/server mode with the GroupWise 7 POA on NetWare or Windows, nor can it access the post office directly. The general rule is that earlier POAs cannot communicate with later GroupWise clients, but later POAs can always communicate with earlier GroupWise clients. Remote mode is not supported in the Mac/Linux client.

Table Summary: The GroupWise 7 Mac/Linux client can communicate in client/server mode with the GroupWise 8 POA on NetWare or Windows. The Mac/Linux client cannot access the post office directly, nor can it communicate with the GroupWise 8 POA across a dial-up connection over a modem. Remote mode is not supported in the Mac/Linux client.

Table Summary: On Linux, ConsoleOne with the GroupWise snap-ins can be used to access GroupWise databases for domains and post offices and GroupWise objects in eDirectory on NetWare, Linux, and Windows. On Windows, ConsoleOne with the GroupWise 6.5 snap-ins cannot be used to access GroupWise 8 domains and post offices on Linux. The general rule is that later GroupWise snap-ins can administer earlier GroupWise system components, but earlier GroupWise snap-ins cannot administer later GroupWise system components.

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 6.5 domains and post offices can be moved onto Linux servers so that the Linux agents can update them to GroupWise 8 on Linux. Although most GW 8 on Linux/GW 6.5 agent combinations are supported, two combinations are not supported.

Table Summary: The GroupWise 8 Mac/Linux client cannot communicate in client/server mode with the GroupWise 6.5 POA on NetWare or Windows, nor can it access the post office directly. The general rule is that earlier POAs cannot communicate with later GroupWise clients, but later POAs can always communicate with earlier GroupWise clients. Remote mode is not supported in the Mac/Linux client.

Table Summary: The GroupWise 6.5 Mac/Linux client can communicate in client/server mode with the GroupWise 8 POA on NetWare or Windows, but it cannot access the post office directly.
