If you are intending to import GroupWise users from Active Directory, and those users have dots in their names (for example, danita.zanre), you will have a problem.  A dot is not an allowed GroupWise userid, and the import procedure through the new Administration Console will to allow for this.

Fear not!  My friend Morris has created a little utility that can assist.  You can download it here –  AD-GWImport

[UPDATE}

Note that the Readme lists a Linux version, but it is not available yet for Linux – only for Windows!

As always, let us know if we can assist with your upgrade!
