Can GW6 users use Groupwise 6.5 webaccess

[JGliddon]

If I upgrade my main site's groupwise 6 to 6.5 will the groupwise 6 users at my other properties have a problem accessing GW 6.5 webaccess?

I know there was an issue with people accessing Groupwise 6 Webaccess if they were at Groupwise 5.5, so I had to upgrade all of my sites to 6 before actually upgrading webaccess to 6.

You can Not use GW6.5 Webaccess to access older Post offices.

What you should do is upgrade your stuff in this order:

Domains
Post office's
GWIA
WebAccess

Also, it's typically okay to upgrade your domain and po's at your main site to 6.5 and leave GWIA and WEBaccess at the older version. Leave them at the old version until you can get the domains and po's at the remote sites upgraded.

Hi,
You should read the following Cool Solutions Article by Tay Kratzer. He explains how to set up WebAccess 6.0 to work with 5.5EP users in the same Domain. Some of this Info may also apply to WebAccess 6.5 and 6.0 users as will.

Good luck,

Thanks guys, I went ahead and downloaded the upgrade guide from Caledonia.net. I have used their stuff before and it is very informative. I was trying to save the $40, but I guess it is money well spent.

And the answer, like Marvin already stated, is that a Groupwise 6.0 user and not access their mailbox via GroupWise 6.5 webaccess with a default install, but according to the Caledonia book, it can be configured to work.

Thanks again.

Check the Authors of the Caledonia book and Tay Kratzer is probably listed in there somewhere.
