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 2 software.

1. Download the NetWare®/Windows GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2 compressed executable file to a temporary directory on your NetWare or Windows server:

gw802_full_nlmwin_en.zip
gw802_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 2 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 2 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).
