Novell GROUPWISE 7 - INTEROPERABILITY GUIDE Manual page 390

ConsoleOne, if you right-click a Domain object in the GroupWise View and then click Connect,
ConsoleOne must be able to resolve the domain database location, as provided in the UNC Path
field, to the network name of that domain within your cluster. It is through short name resolution that
all GroupWise resource groups are accessed and managed in ConsoleOne.
A client program (such as ConsoleOne) that runs on a Windows workstation, can be configured to
use several different short name resolution methods. To see which methods are in use at a particular
workstation, view the protocol preferences for the Novell
workstation:

Short Name Resolution Methods
Description
You can use Novell eDirectory
However, when using eDirectory for short name resolution, you must remember to
consider current context in the name resolution process. eDirectory short name resolution
works only if your current context is the same as the context of the eDirectory object you
need to access.
Windows 2000/2003 uses the \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file when
performing short name resolution at the workstation:
Using this file at the Windows workstation is not a preferred method for short name
resolution (except perhaps for the administrator's workstation).
