By default, the post office allows multiple versions of the GroupWise client to access it. Using the POA console, you can see the version number of each GroupWise client that logs in to the post office in Online mode. This information is displayed on the POA console’s C/S Users page. For more information, see Using the POA Console.
IMPORTANT:Because the POA provides the version tracking and enforces the client lockout, this functionality applies only to GroupWise clients that are accessing the post office in Online mode, not in Caching mode.
To help you control which versions of the GroupWise client are being used to access the post office, you can specify a required GroupWise client version for the post office. Any version that does not match the required minimum version is locked out.
In the GroupWise Administration Console, browse to and click the name of the post office.
Click the Client Settings tab.
Fill in the following fields:
Minimum Client Release Version: Specify the version to use as the post office’s preferred GroupWise client version. Any version that does not match the preferred version is highlighted on the POA console’s C/S Users page. Older versions are shown in red, and newer versions are shown in blue. The version number syntax should match what is displayed in the GroupWise client’s About GroupWise dialog box.
Minimum Client Release Date: This field is available only if you specify a release version. You can use this field to associate an expected release date with the release version. The C/S Users page highlights any dates that do not match the one entered here.
