OK,
This question follows on from
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/2003_Server/Q_22679200.htmlI decided to post a new question specifically relating to email servers like Groupwise and wanted to focus on this deployment
The setup is as follows
Current Situation -
Netware 4.11 Network running IPX with IP over the top
2 Netware 4.11 Servers for Filesharing (they never die, so I'm not going to replace them)
5-6 Windows Servers (2003) 2-3 Boxes running 1-2 VM Servers
Servers have an AD domain on them but the XP clients aren't joined to the domain
75-100 XP clients
I need to install an email server (preferably not Exchange) that allows the email to be synchronised between the clients and servers to enable email backup and possibly hotdesking (just a thought at present)
I've chosen Groupwise as my preferred email server.
I now have some of the XP clients joined to the domain and syncing that using MSDSS to our Netware 4.11 network.
That works very well.
The issue I have with Groupwise is that it needs ConsoleOne and eDirectory to function properly.
That then requires changes to our Netware setup which I am reluctant to do until I can prove that the solution does everything that I am looking for.
I have 1 more server that I can play with in eval (as I'll buy dedicated hardware once I've proven the solution) so I can install 1 more Server OS
All admin is done on the Netware 4.11 tree (creating users etc) and I need to synch it automatically.
I think I'm going to have to try ShineOn's not recommended solution of synching across 3 servers, but would appreciate some more guidance about how get that done properly.
Max points again....thanks every one for their help
