SDD Version of NLMs 1

[Breezeman]

What are the version of the NLMs that the latest service pack for 5.5e? I have applied the new agents and it appears that the versions of the different agents are incorrect. Webaccess GWENN2 shows 5.57e while the others show different version with date of August 2000. Thanks for your help.

List the version numbers you see for GWMTA, GWPOA, GWINTER and GWIA. Find this info from the server console by typing in MODULES GW*.* and it should list all of the GroupWise modules. I'll then be able to answer your question. Brent Schmidt CNE,Network +

Okay, now GWMTAVS I don't recognize as a GroupWise NLM. GWENN15.NLM version is fine. The rest of your NLM's are all mixed up with different SP levels. GWENN2.NLM, GWMTA.NLM, GWPOA.NLM, & GWIA.NLM should all report a version of 5.57e, in some releases of the NLM I have seen it reported as 5.5.7.1 also. I have noted the SP version for your NLM's.

GWENN2.NLM 5.54e 8/18/2000
Enhancment Pack SP 1

GWMTA.NLM 5.54e 8/10/2000
Enhancment Pack SP 1

GWENN15.NLM 5.1e 9/21/2000

GWIA.NLM 5.55e 5/24/2000
Enhancment Pack SP 2

GWMTAVS.NLM 5.53e 11/30/2000
No Service Pack applied

GWPOA.NLM 5.54e 8/10/2000
Enhancment Pack SP 1


Sounds like you need to redo the service pack. Try this, makes life easier. Get your Enhancment Pack CD and copy hte whole thing to your hard drive. Expand the SP5 file for GW5.5EP, but do not use Novell's lame little patch tool. You only need a DOS command line, the 5 RTP files in the patch and patch.exe and dll file. So after you have copied the EP files to your hard drive, copy the RTP files and the patch executable files to you hard drive at the root of the directory you copied the EP file to. Then just execute PATCH ????.RTP and let it do it's thing. Run the same command for all 5 RTP files. Then copy what you have to your software directory store on your server (or burn to CD depending on your managment method). I have found that using the DOS patch way is more reliable than the little windows tool Novell provides. Brent Schmidt CNE,Network +

Okay, I have recreated the GroupWise system on a test network with a good SDD. Can I copy it to my production network? or do I need to go through and recreate a new SDD on it. Same setup on test network as on Production.

You can just copy the SDD on the test server to the SDD location on the production server with out problems. You will then need to go through the normal install steps for the NLM's, and your GWIA. Brent Schmidt CNE,Network +
