More problems with gropewith (groupwise hehe)...

Okay, I'm working on a users workstation and everytime her groupwise loads, the Microsoft exchange server would pop up asking for the exchange server. I click "cancel" and then when I try to click on the address book, the same popup box appears... what gives? In the Mail properties in Control Panel, nothing is displayed except for "add", "import" and "close". I've already ran the groupwise cleaning agent and reinstalled groupwise 5.5 on. I'm running on novell client 3.3

Did you reinstall Windows Messaging (AKA Exchange)? This is actually a key component that GroupWise uses, and GroupWise won't install without it. If your Windows Messaging install is corrupt, GroupWise won't work (but will install). To uninstall, go to add remove programs in control panel and use the Windows Setup tab. Then reinstall GroupWise and it will prompt you to reinstall Windows Messaging.

How do i reinstall the exchange server?

[MacGyver]

Exchange Server? That's a little out of my league. Why would you want to do such a horrible thing? In my instructions above, you're only reinstalling the Exchange Client, not the server!

Probably the easiest way is to rename the "c:\program files\windows messaging" folder. Then when you try to install GroupWise, it should say that Messaging isn't installed and it will install it for you.

Okay, where do i get the exchange client to load? will this end the problem?

[MacGyver]

The Exchange client does not load when using GroupWise. However GroupWise uses files from MS Exchange to do it's work. That's why Exchange needs to be installed.

Hi there, I believe the file MacGyver is talking about is the Windows Messaging System for NT4/2000. Check the TIDs on the following site and see if this is what MacGyver mentioned: Novell WMS info

This is a good page with lots of info about WMS.
Hope this helps.

OOPS... I'm a bit late... nevermind.
