Chapter Summary

You can deploy the Connector for Novell GroupWise on one or many Exchange 2000 servers to connect your organization to a GroupWise environment. A messaging topology with bridgehead servers gives the best performance. The bridgeheads must be integrated with Novell NetWare by means of GSNW or NetWare Client for Windows 2000 to provide access to GroupWise. To install the Connector components, run the Exchange 2000 Server Setup program.

For messaging connectivity, the GroupWise environment and the Connector for Novell GroupWise must be configured. You need to install Patch 2 for API Gateway NLM on a NetWare server. Activate distribution list expansion for the gateway, and then configure a gateway object and an external foreign domain for the Exchange 2000 Server organization in GroupWise. The link table must be updated to connect the GroupWise domain to the external foreign domain via the API Gateway. Do not forget to create a dedicated NetWare account for the Connector and add it to the special NTGATEWAY group. Otherwise, the Connector cannot access the API Gateway directories. To configure the Connector using Exchange System Manager, provide the path to the API Gateway's root directory in UNC format and specify the connector's NetWare account and password. Configure an appropriate address space for message routing and assign your Exchange users GWISE proxy addresses by means of a recipient policy. After that, you are ready to start the Connector's Windows 2000 services and exchange messages with GroupWise users.

To simplify the addressing of e-mail messages, enable directory synchronization. This is quickly accomplished using the Import Container and Export Container tabs of the Connector for Novell GroupWise. In the Dirsync Schedule tab, you should also define a synchronization schedule for automatic address list updates. It is a good idea to trigger the first directory synchronization manually to quickly populate Active Directory and GroupWise with recipient information. Use the Active Directory Cleanup Wizard to consolidate duplicate GroupWise information into single mail-enabled accounts.
