GroupWise System Requirements

GroupWise 8 system requirements are listed in the "GroupWise 8 Installation
Guide" (http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw8).


NetWare/Windows Administration Software Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: If you are installing the GroupWise software in a cluster,
refer to the "GroupWise 8 Interoperability Guide"
(http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw8) for cluster-specific
installation instructions before starting to install the GroupWise 8
Support Pack 1 software.

1. Download the NetWare®/Windows GroupWise 8 Support Pack 1 Hot Patch 1 compressed executable file to a temporary directory on your NetWare or Windows server:

gw801HP_full_nlmwin_en.zip
gw801HP_full_nlmwin_multi.zip

2. Extract the ".zip" file into a directory at the root of your local
drive or to a network server drive that can handle long pathnames.
The compressed file contains directory paths that could exceed DOS
limits.

3. In Windows, click Start > Run > Browse, then locate the directory
where you extracted the GroupWise 8 Support Pack 1 administration
files.

4. Select the "setup.exe" file, then click OK to run the GroupWise
Installation program.

5. Click Create or Update a GroupWise System.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the GroupWise 8
Support Pack 1 software on your test system.

When you install a Support Pack, you can streamline the update
process by copying the updated agent software files but not
configuring the agents again. In the Installation program, select
Install the Software Files, But Do Not Configure the Agents on the
Installation Path page when you install the POA, the MTA, and the
Internet Agent.

Update the primary domain first. Start the MTA in the primary
domain. Then update secondary domains, followed by the post offices
in each domain. Start each MTA and POA for each domain and post
office. Then update the other GroupWise agents.

For additional instructions, refer to the "GroupWise 8 Installation
Guide" on the GroupWise 8 Documentation Web site
(http://www.novell.com/documentation/gw8).

security fixes

Microsoft has reported a security issue in their development Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL).

Microsoft has requested developers using ATL to evaluate their use of any ATL controls or components and to take immediate action to evaluate a possible vulnerability.

For further information please see Microsoft Security Advisory (973882)


Resolution

Novell has thoroughly evaluated the use of ATL controls and components and have implemented Microsoft's fixes into the Windows Client of GroupWise 7.0.3 Hot Patch 4 and the Windows Client of GroupWise 8.0.1 Hot Patch 1. No other GroupWise components are vulnerable.
