Q.
I'm trying to patch Groupwise 5.5 or GroupWise EP, but it keeps giving me errors about failing to copy files and it won't patch. What do I do?

Dear Failing: The best solution is to copy the original CD to a hard disk drive and mark all files Read/Write. An alternative solution is to copy the Software Distribution Directory locally to the hard drive, mark all files Read/Write, and run the patch from there (no backup, no local copy), then copy the directory back to the server and run the setup program. TID #10025877 covers the different versions of Directory Services.
