  • Removes members of the distribution list

1.2.4 Password Synchronization Support

The Subscriber channel sets the password. Passwords are not synchronized on the Publisher channel.

The GroupWise driver synchronizes users, groups, distribution lists, external entities, containers, and post offices.
