Create GroupWise Domain

A domain organizes post offices into a logical grouping for addressing, routing, and administration purposes in your GroupWise® system.

Domain Name
Enter a unique name. Do not use invalid characters. You cannot change the domain name after the domain has been created.

Container
This field is displayed only if you are creating the domain through the GroupWise View instead of the Novell® eDirectoryTM Console View. Select the eDirectory container where you want the Domain object to be created.

Domain Database Location
Browse to or enter the path to the directory where you want all domain subdirectories, databases, and files created. Use a standard, eight-character DOS directory name; do not use extended characters. Do not specify a directory that is already being used. If the directory does not exist, it will be created.

Language
Select the language whose sorting rules will be used when displaying the GroupWise Address Book for users in this domain.

Time Zone
Select the time zone where the domain is located. This information enables GroupWise to adjust appointment times according to local time.

Message Transfer Agent Platform
Select the platform (NetWare Loadable Module, Linux, or Windows) where this MTA will run.

Link to Domain
Select the domain you want this domain to link to directly. If you have additional domains, this domain will link to those domains indirectly through the domain you specify here.

Configure Link
By default, this domain's link to the domain specified in the Link to Domain field will be established through a TCP/IP connection from this domain's MTA to the other domain's MTA. Select this option to provide the TCP/IP information for the link, or to change the link to a direct connection (UNC or mapped path) while creating the domain. Deselect this option if you want to configure the link later.

Define Additional Properties
Select Define Additional Properties to finish defining this Domain object's properties immediately. These properties affect how the Domain object functions in your GroupWise system.

Create Another Domain
Select Create Another Domain to postpone defining this Domain object's properties until after you have created additional Domain objects. This can save steps when creating multiple Domain objects.

After creating multiple Domain objects, right-click each Domain object, then click Properties to finish defining each Domain object's properties. These properties affect how each Domain object functions in your GroupWise system.
