Situation

Over the years, there has been much confusion as to whether GroupWise will run and is supported on 64-bit SLES and OES Linux platforms.

Resolution

GroupWise agents running on 64-bit SLES and OES Linux are supported.  The agents themselves are 32-bit programs and will not take full advantage of the 64-bit processor.

Minor speed improvements may be noticed when running in a 64-bit environment through faster file access and other I/O related functions that do take advantage of 64-bit processing.
