Thanks Shine. &nbsp;The people that will &nbsp;need to admin GW will have the Novell client on their PC's to work in eDirectory. &nbsp;Everything you said reaffirms what I was thinking. I do have a follow-up on the &quot;organizational person.&quot; &nbsp;Can a &quot;user&quot; object be changed to an &quot;organizational person?&quot; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Thanks Shine.  The people that will  need to admin GW will have the Novell client on their PC's to work in eDirectory.  Everything you said reaffirms what I was thinking. I do have a follow-up on the "organizational person."  Can a "user" object be changed to an "organizational person?"  

Thanks

Probably could be done through LDIF export/massage/import. &nbsp;Not many object types can be changed to other object types.<br />
<br />
I don't know if that's necessary for GroupWise; what I was trying to get across is that the &quot;user&quot; object's intent and purpose is as a NetWare/OES user. &nbsp;The LDAP equivalent object class without the NetWare-specific attributes would be Organizational Person.

We are moving away from Novell all except for Groupwise in the near future. &nbsp;Trying to find some information on licensing. &nbsp;We currently own user licenses for OES and GW. &nbsp;In renewing our licenses do we need to have the OES licenses to run GW on an OES box? &nbsp;Or does the GW licenses cover it. &nbsp;We are now using active directory as opposed to eDirectory. &nbsp;Thanks

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
