GroupWise Objects Are Located in a Separate GroupWise Container
Domains and post offices can also be created in their own organizational unit. Administratively, this
approach makes it easier to restrict a GroupWise administrator’s object and property rights to
GroupWise objects only. For information about GroupWise Administrator rights, see
Section 8.2.2,
“Deciding Who Will Administer the New Domain,” on page 121

8.2.5 Choosing the Domain Name
The domain requires a unique name. The name is used as the Domain object’s name in eDirectory. It
is also used for addressing and routing purposes within GroupWise, and might appear in the
GroupWise Address Book.
The domain name can reflect a location, company name or branch name, or some other element that
makes sense for your organization. For example, you might want the domain name to be the location
(for example, Provo) while the post office name is one of the company’s departments (for example,
Research). Name the new domain carefully. After it is created, the name cannot be changed.
The domain name should consist of a single string. Use underscores (_) rather than spaces as
separators between words to facilitate addressing across the Internet. Do not use any of the
following invalid characters in the domain name:
ASCII characters 0-31
Comma ,
Asterisk *
Double quote “
