Novell GroupWise 5.5 Enhancement Pack

Novell GroupWise Enhancement Pack Client 5.5.2.1

Novell GroupWise 5.2

change

Upgraded from GroupWise 5.2 to 5.5

symptom

5.2 Client is launched against EP post office and user is added to proxy list.

In GW 5.5 and GW 5.2 Clients, the proxy user list displays the names correctly.

In EP client, one user name replaces all or almost all of the proxy entries.

The original users still have the access the proxy rights that were originally given to them.

Problem appears to be a cosmetic problem with EP client.

cause

The user's name appear multiple times because the GW 5.2 client changes the GUID, global unique id, of the proxy users to the GUID of the user added to the proxy list using the 5.2 client.  The Enhancement Pack client displays the names incorrectly because the proxy list is searching on the GUID.  Conversely the 5.2 and 5.5 clients searched on another field.

fix

Development created a fix with the GroupWise 5.5 Support Pack 5 GWCHECK, fgck555e.exe.  This GWCHECK is currently a beta field test file which can be downloaded from support.novell.com.
