office is located that you want to access from ConsoleOne. The following table illustrates the
correspondence between UNC paths and mount point directories for GroupWise database
locations on Linux, NetWare, and Windows, assuming the typical mount point directory of /

Windows
GroupWise administrators can have different mount points depending on the workstation or
server where they are running ConsoleOne. The mount directory information is stored in a
user-specific preferences file (
administrator's home directory).

4.3 eDirectory User Synchronization

For user information to be displayed in the GroupWise Address Book, it must be stored not only in
eDirectory but also in the GroupWise domain and post office databases. If you add or modify user
information using an installation of ConsoleOne with the GroupWise Administrator snap-in, the
GroupWise Administrator snap-in adds the user information to the GroupWise databases. However,
if you add or modify user information using a ConsoleOne installation that is not running the
GroupWise Administrator snap-in, the user information is not changed in the GroupWise databases.
This is also true if you add or modify user information using Novell iManager or older
administration tools such as NetWare Administrator.
To ensure that the user information stored in the GroupWise databases is always synchronized with
the user information in eDirectory, you can set up eDirectory user synchronization. For detailed
information see

4.4 Admin-Defined Fields

eDirectory includes user information that is not associated to GroupWise user fields. By default,
such eDirectory fields are not displayed in the GroupWise Address Book. However, you can use the
Admin-Defined Fields feature to map eDirectory user fields to GroupWise fields so that they can be
displayed in the GroupWise Address Book.
