40.2 Domain Directory Structure

Physically, a domain consists of a set of directories that house all the information stored in the
domain. See
Structure.

40.3 Information Stored in the Domain

The following types of information are stored in the domain:
No messages are stored in the domain, so GroupWise client users do not need access to the domain
directory. The only person who needs file access to the domain directory is the GroupWise

The first domain you create is the primary domain. In the primary domain, the wpdomain.db file
contains all administrative information for your entire GroupWise system (all its domains, post

should back it up regularly and keep it secure. See
