  • The migration server and any secondary servers must be able to establish a connection to your GroupWise environment.

Connection Details

  • Connection name: Provide a unique name for this new source connection. This connection will be available in the Connections screen and can be reused across projects. The name can be used to identify the connection.
  • GroupWise version:
  • Server address: The hostname or IP address of the GroupWise server.
    • Note: if you have multiple users with same UserID, you must migrate them directly from the server they are located on and not rely on a domain server to route the login. Failure to do this could result in data being migrated from the wrong account.
  • Admin username: The name of a mail enabled admin user within the GroupWise system, used to test connections and to obtain user lists.
  • Admin password: The password for the admin user.
  • Trusted application name: The trusted application name, as provided to the trusted application creator.

  • Account processing: Select whether to migrate user’s accounts, archives or both.
  • Domain name: Select whether to migrate user’s accounts, archives or both.
  • Domain path: The path to the GroupWise domain. The path can be either a mapped drive or a UNC path. Either this or the 'Domain DN' above can be used to connect to the GroupWise domain.
  • Server port: The GroupWise server port. This is the same port as the GroupWise client normally uses and is usually 1677.
  • GroupWise 2014+ admin port: The port the GroupWise 2014+ Admin service is running on, normally 9710.
