Remote Mode - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

Downloading the GroupWise Address Book
When users prime their Caching mailboxes, they receive a copy of the GroupWise Address Book.
After the initial priming of the Caching mailbox, users can re-download the GroupWise Address
Book and their personal address books in Caching mode by clicking View > Retrieve System
Address Book or View > Retrieve Personal Address Book while in the Address Book. Address books
also be re-downloaded in Caching mode when users click Tools > Retrieve Entire Mailbox.
Users can also specify to download the GroupWise Address Book (and any rules they have created)
on a regular basis.
1 In Remote or Caching mode, click Accounts > Account Options.
2 Select the GroupWise account, then click Properties > Advanced.
3 Select Refresh Address Books and Rules Every __ Days. By default this is set to 0 days, but it
can be changed.
If you configure the POA to generate the GroupWise Address Book regularly, Caching mode users
always have a current copy to download.
1 In ConsoleOne, right-click the POA object, then click Properties > GroupWise > Maintenance.
On the Maintenance page, make sure that Generate Address Book for Remote is selected. You can
choose the time when you want the generation to take place.
If you want to generate the GroupWise Address Book for download more than once a day, you can
delete the existing
wprof50.db
new downloadable GroupWise Address Book is generated automatically for users on each post
office.

68.1.3 Remote Mode

Remote mode is familiar to GroupWise users who use Hit the Road. Similar to Caching mode, a
copy of the Online mailbox, or the portion of the mailbox that users specify, is stored on the local
drive. Users can periodically retrieve and send messages with the type of connection they specify
(modem, network, or TCP/IP). Users can restrict what is retrieved, such as only new messages or
only message subject lines.
NOTE: Remote mode is not available in the GroupWise Linux/Mac client.
As a GroupWise administrator, you can allow or disallow the use of Remote mode for client users.
1 In ConsoleOne, click Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Client Options.
2 Click Environment > Client Access.
3 Select or deselect Allow Use of Remote Mode.
The following topics explain the capabilities users have when they are allowed to use Remote mode.
