Merge Domain into System

The Merge Domain Advisor guides you through the process of merging a domain from another GroupWise^® system into the current GroupWise system. When you merge a domain into the current GroupWise system, it is added to the system as a secondary domain. It can then be administered just like any other secondary domain in the current system.

To merge a domain into the current system:

• The domain must be defined as an external domain in the current GroupWise system.
• The domain must be a primary domain in its own GroupWise system. In addition, it must be the only domain in its system. If the domain's system includes other domains, you must first release the domain so that it is in its own system. To release the domain, connect to a domain in its GroupWise system (Tools menu > GroupWise System Operations > Select Domain), right-click the Domain object, click System Maintenance, select Release Secondary, click Run, then follow the prompts. If the domain is the primary domain, you will need to first convert another secondary domain to serve as the primary.
• You must have Write rights to every Novell^® eDirectory^TM object associated with the GroupWise domain you are merging.
• You must have file system rights to the domain's database.
