Offices,” on page 623

8.2.8 Deciding How to Link the New Domain
Domain links tell the MTAs how to route messages between domains. Properly configured links
optimize message flow throughout your GroupWise system. For a review of link types, see
Section 10.1.1, “Domain-to-Domain Links,” on page 145
.
When you create the new domain, you link it to one existing domain. By default, this link is a direct
link using TCP/IP as the link protocol, which means the new domain’s MTA communicates with the
existing domain’s MTA through TCP/IP. If desired, you can configure the direct link to use a UNC
path as the link protocol, which means the new domain’s MTA transfers information to and from the
existing domain by accessing the existing domain’s directory.
After you create the new domain, you can configure links to additional domains as needed. See
Section 10.2, “Using the Link Configuration Tool,” on page 151
.
8.2.9 Selecting the Domain Language
The domain language determines the default sort order for items in the GroupWise Address Book
for users in post offices that belong to the domain. For more information, see
Section 11.2.8,
“Selecting the Post Office Language,” on page 173
.
8.2.10 Selecting the Domain Time Zone
When a message is sent from a user in one time zone to a user in another time zone, GroupWise
adjusts the message’s time so that it is correct for the recipient’s time zone. For example, if a user in
New York (GMT -05:00, Eastern Time) schedules a user in Los Angeles (GMT -08:00, Pacific
Time) for a conference call at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the appointment is scheduled in the Los
Angeles user’s calendar at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
The domain time zone becomes the default time zone for each post office in the domain.
