Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual page 1076

Users should use this mode if they have enough disk space on the local drive to store the Caching
mailbox. If users run Caching mode and Remote mode on the same computer, the same local
mailbox can be used to minimize disk space usage.
By backing up their Caching mailboxes, users can protect items that might be deleted if the system
is set up to automatically clean up items (or if the system administrator runs an Expire and Reduce).
Several users can set up their Caching mailboxes on a single shared computer.
The default location for a Caching mailbox varies by client platform:
Windows
XP:
Windows
Vista:
Linux:
Mac:
Allowing or Forcing Use of Caching Mode
As the GroupWise administrator, you can allow or disallow the use of Caching mode, and can also
force users to log in to GroupWise in Caching mode.
1 In ConsoleOne
2 Click Environment > Client Access.
3 Select or deselect Allow Use of Caching Mode.
4 Select or deselect Force Use of Caching Mode.
Specify the number of days before Caching mode will be enforced. This allows the user to
continue using Online mode until the grace period has passed. The grace period begins the first
time the user connects to the POA. The setting applies per user per workstation.
The Force Caching Mode setting is not enforced on a workstation that does not have enough
disk space for a Caching mailbox. The amount of disk space that is required is: the size of the
mailbox + 20 MB + 25% of the mailbox size.
The Force Caching Mode setting is also not enforced when a user connects from a shared
Windows workstation or terminal server if you configure these workstations to be excluded.
You do this by setting a registry key on the Windows workstation. The registry key is in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Under
dword value named No Local Store with a value of 1. This prevents the user from creating a
Caching or Remote mailbox by using the GroupWise Windows client menus. However, the
user can still create a Caching or Remote mailbox by using the startup switches /pc, /pr, or /ps.
If you force Caching mode and then restrict Online mailbox size so that users have items in their
Caching mailboxes that are no longer available online, you need to make sure users understand
about doing backups. See the following section in the appropriate GroupWise Client User Guide:
