After you have upgraded the primary domain server in your GroupWise system, you can upgrade secondary domains in your GroupWise system in any order that is convenient for you.
Before you upgrade a secondary domain server, review the following sections and complete the accompanying tasks if you have not done so recently:

In the Installation console, click Upgrade an Existing Domain or Post Office to GroupWise 2014.
What displays next depends on whether the Installation console can detect the existing domains and post offices on the server. The conditions for automatic detection are described in Section 24.0, Preparing Your Existing GroupWise System for the Upgrade.
