5.11 GroupWise on Windows

5.11.1 Server Only Profiles on Windows

When GroupWise is on Windows, the Server Only model must be used.

5.11.2 Prerequisites

  • Create backup data directory on the Reload server

  • Install Server for NFS on the Windows Server

5.11.3 On the Reload Server: Create backup data directory

You will need to create a directory on the Reload server for the backup data. The name of the profile will be used to create sub-directories for each profile. For example:

mkdir /reload/

On the Windows GroupWise server: Install and Configure Server for NFS

  • Open Server Manager and select Add roles and features

  • Install the Server Role File and Storage Services | Server for NFS. A restart will be required.

And add the Features

The server will restart once the installation is complete.

Create the share point for the domain and post office folders:

  • In File Explorer browse to the GroupWise folder

  • Right-click the folder to be shared and select Properties

  • Select the NFS Sharing tab

  • Click Manage NFS Sharing

  • Enable Share this folder

  • Select Permissions and set Type of Access to Read-Write and click OK

  • Click OK

  • Click Close

Do this for the domain as well.

On the Reload server:

  • Create a mount point. For example,

    mkdir /mnt/po

  • Mount the NFS point from the Windows server

    mount -t nfs <address of GW Windows server>:/<shared folder> <local mount point>

    For example: mount -t nfs 10.1.1.123:/po /mnt/po

5.11.4 Configure Profiles

There are two kinds of profiles: Domain and Post Office.
