58.4 Moving a Resource

If necessary, you can move a resource from one post office to another. For example, you might need to move a resource if you are removing the resource’s post office, or if you need to reassign ownership of the resource to a user on another post office.

The resource retains the same name in the new post office as it has in the current post office. If another user, resource, or group assigned to the new post office has the same name, you must rename one of them before you move the resource. For details, see Section 58.5, Renaming a Resource.

When you move the resource, all items in its mailbox are moved to the new post office, which means that all schedules for the resource are kept intact.

  1. In the GroupWise Admin console, browse to and click the name of the resource.

  2. Click More > Move.

  3. Select the post office to which you want to move the resource.

  4. (Optional) Select Create Nickname(s) for the Selected Object(s), so that messages that will be undeliverable to the old email address are successfully delivered to the new email address.

    For more information, see Section XII, Nicknames.

  5. Click OK to display the Choose New Owner dialog box.

  6. Select the user who will be the resource’s owner, then click OK to move the resource.
