IMPORTANT:
Because the POA provides the version tracking and enforces the client lockout, this
functionality applies only to GroupWise clients that are accessing the post office in client/server
mode (not direct access mode).
To help you better monitor and track which versions of the GroupWise client are being used to
access the post office, you can specify a preferred GroupWise client version for the post office. Any
version that does not match the preferred version is highlighted on the POA Web console’s C/S
Users page. Older versions are shown in red, and newer versions are shown in blue.
In addition, to restrict which versions of the GroupWise client can access the post office, you can
choose to lock out any GroupWise clients that are older than the preferred version. If you want to
lock out all GroupWise clients (for example, to rebuild the post office database), see
Section 12.7,
“Disabling a Post Office,” on page 195

To specify a preferred GroupWise client version for the post office and to enable the POA to lock
out specific GroupWise client versions:
