Hello,
Someone told me that they were able to restore a GroupWise Post Office to a data directory and access the email data using a GroupWise client. They did not have to restore the GroupWise Post Office into a live Netware system. Somehow, they just restored the data and pointed the GroupWise client to the restored data and was able to browse messages. Can this really be done, and if so then how? I would like to test this out myself.
If this requires a lot of steps then I will add more questions so that I can give points for the help along the way.
Thanks,
John
If there any reason you think it has to run on NetWare?
Anyway, what you want is possible, if and only if the POA was configured for Direct Access
Direct Access mode was introduced way back in GroupWise v5.0; I think it was still supported in v7.0 (not sure about v8.0) but no one who knows what they're doing enables it.
If it wasn't enabled, then you may be able to enable it using ConsoleOne with the appropriate GroupWise management Snap-Ins and access to the Domain database. As to how easy that would be to do without the supporting eDirectory framework, I'm not sure.
