GroupWise is administered using ConsoleOne
and its resources. When you create your GroupWise system, GroupWise snap-ins are added to your
ConsoleOne installation and GroupWise objects are created in Novell
manage your GroupWise system, you use ConsoleOne to create additional GroupWise objects,
modify GroupWise object properties, and so on.
IMPORTANT: Because the GroupWise snap-ins to ConsoleOne are required in order to work with
GroupWise objects, you cannot use other network management tools, such as Novell iManager, to
administer your GroupWise system. Also, you should not use older network management tools, such
®
as NetWare Administrator, to administer your GroupWise system, unless your GroupWise system
includes legacy gateways that require such tools to administer the corresponding Gateway objects
and their properties.
Because GroupWise is a cross-platform product, you might have components of your GroupWise
system located on NetWare servers, Linux servers, and Windows* servers. You can run ConsoleOne
on Windows or Linux to manage GroupWise domains and post offices located on any of these
platforms.

do not run in that environment.
