When you implement a new GroupWise system or a new domain or post office in a Microsoft
cluster, overall GroupWise system design does not need to change substantially. For a review, see
"Installing a Basic GroupWise
configuration of individual components of your GroupWise system will be significantly different.
This section helps you plan the following GroupWise components in a Microsoft cluster:
A new GroupWise system consisting of the primary domain and the initial post office
A new secondary domain
A new post office
The GroupWise agents (MTA and POA)
During the planning process, component configuration alternatives are explained. For example, you
might want the domain and post office together in the same resource group or in separate resource
groups. You might want to install the agents to the standard
to manually create a
drive:\grpwise
so that the agents fail over with the domains and post offices they service.
