The location change is propagated throughout your GroupWise system.
4
Stop the MTA and any gateways running for the domain.
5
Use
xcopy
with the
/s
and
/e
options to copy the domain directory and database to the new
location. These options re-create the same directory structure even if directories are empty.
Example:
xcopy
domain_directory
/s /e
destination
6
Give rights to all objects that need to access the domain database.
For example, if the new location is on a different server, the NetWare MTA and GroupWise
administrators who run ConsoleOne need adequate rights to the new location, as described in
Chapter 79, “GroupWise Administrator Rights,” on page 1177
.
7
Edit the MTA and gateway startup files to reflect the changes, then restart the MTA and
gateways.
See
Section 41.1.7, “Adjusting the MTA for a New Location of a Domain or Post Office,” on
page 640
.
8
When you are sure the domain is functioning properly in its new location, delete the original
domain directory and its contents.
If you need to move the MTA along with its domain, see
Section 41.1.6, “Moving the MTA to a
Different Server,” on page 640
.
9.5 Deleting a Domain
You can delete a domain only when it no longer owns subordinate GroupWise objects. For example,
you cannot delete the primary domain of your GroupWise system if it still owns secondary domains.
You cannot delete a secondary domain if it still owns post offices. However, MTA and Gateway
objects are automatically deleted along with the Domain object. Keep the MTA running until after
you have deleted the domain, so that it can process the object deletion requests.
1
In ConsoleOne, connect to the primary domain of your GroupWise system, as described in
Section 9.1, “Connecting to a Domain,” on page 135
.
2
Browse to and right-click the Domain object you want to delete, then click
Properties
to
display the domain Identification page.
