Wish to push out a forwarding rule, can this be done?

[Anonymous]

We are migrating a portion of our users from GW6.5sp1 to NetMail 3.1e and we want to leave their existing GW accounts alone for about 6 months while forwarding all their messages to the new accounts. Can the forwarding rule be created and pushed out via a Formativ solution?

I would expect this should be possible. An applet could be written that, when executed automatically on GroupWise startup, would create the rule. An entry could then be written (possibly to the account) indicating the rule exists. This entry would be checked by the applet each time it ran to ensure multiple copies of the rule were not created.

The applet could then be pushed out via eDirectory to the appropriate users. You would need a copy of Formativ Admin to manage eDirectory management, and a copy of Runtime on each machine that needed to run the applet.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you require any further information.
