Create GroupWise Post Office

A post office is a collection of user mailboxes and GroupWise® objects.

Post Office Name
Enter a unique name. Do not use invalid characters. You cannot change the post office name after the post office has been created.

GroupWise Domain
This field is displayed only if you are creating the post office through the Novell® eDirectoryTM Console ® View instead of the GroupWise View. Select the domain this post office will belong to.

Container
This field is displayed only if you are creating the post office through the GroupWise View instead of the Console View. Select the eDirectory container where you want the Post Office object to be created.

Post Office Database Location
Browse to or enter the path to the directory where you want all post office 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 is created.

Language
Select the language whose sorting rules are to be used when displaying the GroupWise Address Book for users in this post office.

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

Software Distribution Directory
Select the directory from which you want users in this post office to install the GroupWise client software.

Post Office Agent Platform
Select the platform (NetWare Loadable Module, Linux, or Windows) where this POA will run.

Configure Link
By default, the domain's MTA and the post office's POA exchange information with each other through TCP/IP connections. 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 post office. Deselect this option if you want to configure the link later.

Create Library
Select this option to create a library associated with the post office. The library will have the same name as the post office and be located in the same Organization as the post office.

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

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

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