GroupWise allows corporate users to manage documents, share calendars, and control project workflow across network operating systems, including Novell NetWare, Windows NT, and Windows 2000.

Changes in version 6.5 include improvements to the user interface and to integration tools for third-party developers. The software allows employees to access business information via a Web browser on a desktop or a laptop PC, and from wireless handhelds like Research In Motion¿s BlackBerry devices.

Approximately 34 million people use GroupWise, with an average of one administrator per 1000 end-users.

Novell¿s GroupWise 6.5 Administrator¿s Handbook is an in-depth, authoritative guide for administrators of GroupWise. It helps networking and messaging professions plan and install a GroupWise system, set up multiple post office domain systems, configure messaging and Internet services, migrate from previous versions of GroupWise, and troubleshoot message flow and fix directory problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for the GW admin, December 19, 2003

You can probably get by with the Groupwise newsgroup and the TIDs on Novell's website to configure and maintain your GW system, but its much easier to have all the info you need in one place. I bungled a test install and then another one, and then got it right when I read the book and understood why I was doing what I was doing.

As for Novell's viability into the future, I'll stop buying and using Novell products when either I am dead or Novell is dead and not before. Novell products aren't as simple to set up as MS, but they are far more functional, robust, scalable and stable than any of the swill that the beast of Redmond pumps out.

Buy Netware. Buy Groupwise, and buy the guides. Fire your MSCE's and hire CNEs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for GW Admin, December 7, 2004

This is definetely the book you must have if you administer a GroupWise system. I have gone to the Novell course and have all of the material from it, but I use this manual 99% of the time. There are a few items that I wish they went more in-depth on or explained a bit better, but over-all everything is detailed quite well...plus the book is already 948 pages long so I will cut them some slack.
