ok, I installed gw 6.5.5 i also tried pdaconnect. the first problem = it seems to want to do gw "contacts" which is the frequent contact address book. I just want to do the personal address book. the second problem = its still very slow. i have 1700 records, so maybe the amount of records...

Thanks. I had gone to an old link that had it listed still in beta. I found the right page.

Thanks for responding Brichr. If I use PDAConnect, how does that hook in as a conduit for Hotsync ? I hesitate to try sp5 because it is still in beta.

Greetings. Using Intellisync desktop 5.3 and gw 6.5.4. want to sync address books. very frustrating.. it takes forever..... besides the known issue where the palm "unfiled" category becomes a new address book in groupwise. and then there are the hundreds of entries under the "unfiled"...

Short story: Anyone know of easy way, or inexpensive product, to allow non-admins to manage the gw distribution lists ? Or perhaps a way for end-users to do it themselves ? I know there is Omni "e-control" but thats $5k. Long story: My tech team constantly gets badgered about inaccurate...

Forgive me, but I am still not sure about what strategy I should take in getting good backups of my groupwise system we are using netware 5.1, and I have no plans to upgrade to netware 6.x. therefore, sounds like SBCON is not an option. I'd like to continue using Arcserve (I know, that's...

We are on gw 6.5 sp1 netware 5.1 sp5 most of the errors involve message databases, so I am concerned about that. we are 24/7 shop, so there could be activity , including folks in their mailboxes, during backup window. thanks.

Thanks to both of you for your helpful replies. I am now doing it with just the TSA, and it seems well and good but a few of the backups I have received a few of these AE3125 Failed to read xxxxx data set, fffdffc6 where xxxx is a message or user database. i assume that means i did not get a...

Historically, we have used Arcserve and St. Bernard Open File Manager )OFM) to backup our open groupwise files. In recent times, we periodically have a situation where the OFM is hogging CPU time, or the backup is running extremely slow. It may also coincide with a gwcheck repair process...

We are currently using the SAN for general file sharing, e.g. for end-user files, norton ghost images, etc. we have not done any fail over stuff yet, but DataCore does have an "asynch" option where you can have one unit replicate over ip to another unit that is offsite. I see they also have a...

Thanks for your advice. Would I have to do this on every DC ? Or just one and then replication will sync the changes with the other DC's ?

I have a DC in a Windows 2003 AD that has been offline for over 60 days. I tried to demote it and remove AD I was unsuccessful probably because at this point, other DC's don't want to talk to it because it has been over 60 days. So it seems i have 2 choices: - bring it back into the fold by...

Anyone else out there using SANMelody ? (www.datacore.com) I find it's a great way to get your feet wet in SAN technology without spending a bundle. This was especially critical for the non-profit I work for, because even iSCSI SATA turnkey solutions with a decent amount of storage would have...

Hi. Any one have opinions/experiences they can share with me re: which SAN solution to go with ? I am tempted by iscsi because it would mean less up front investment since we already have gig switches and nics in place that we used to set up a dedicated LAN for arcserve backups. It also would...

It seems that the Windows 2003 Shadow Copy service will only write snapshots to a local volume/drive. Is there any way around this. I'd like to send the snapshots to another box, e.g. a network share. thanks.
