NOWS: Now including Teaming!
Want to improve productivity and cut costs? You can do both with Novell Open Workgroup Suite, now available with Novell Teaming included. It provides a secure, flexible and cost-effective IT infrastructure, a proven set of workgroup services and next-generation collaboration tools. Unlike a Windows-centric solution, our suite is flexible, interoperable and standards-based. See how we take on Microsoft Professional Desktop Platform and deliver comparable functionality for as much as 70 percent less. More informationBonsai update!
We have just released 7.0.3 HP. We had planned to have Bonsai BETA 4 out by now, but we are still working on a few of the BETA 4 exit criteria. Things are looking good for June 30-July 15th. BETA 4 is currently our final planned authorized Bonsai BETA. The next BETA (BETA 5) will be PUBLIC!!!GroupWise "Safe" Mode....
The windows client, and at least right now to a lesser degree the Linux/Mac client, have a new startup switch: /safe.
Dispelling One Bonsai Myth - Platform Support
I have no idea how this rumour/myth/urban legend started but it keeps coming around. In the last week I have been asked this question 3 times - there was even an article on it in the Belgian IT press late last year (I doubt that's the source, as I am sure the readership is not that large outside of Antwerp). The question is 'will Bonsai be supported on NetWare?' The answer is an absolute 'yes'. GroupWise User Rename Utility
This tool was created due to a posting on the Novell Support Forums, where a fellow admin by a mistake during a rename of an account by a mistake got a backslash in the account name As such, the account is stuck with that name, and can't be renamed back again.This utility can rename any account. Note though, that it needs an eDirectory counterpart... As such, the GW Account that has to be renamed must have an object in eDirectory. Either graft, or associate if needed
In my last two postings, I introduced Novell’s future vision for an agile infrastructure to support computing and collaboration. I described the CIO motivation, eight use cases which make agility compelling, technology megatrends which make this possible, and the seven key technology areas which will allow the realization of this vision. These seven areas are: policy, identity, virtualization, Linux, orchestration, compliance and collaboration. In this posting, I will describe our roadmap for these seven areas.
