[ngw] GroupWise 7.03 on NetWare, Windows 2003/2008

[Bill Conlee]

I would agree.  The 7 to 8 upgrade is a snap for MTA and POAs.  It can be
done in a matter of minutes per agent if you pre-copy nlms / supporting
files, and edit your startup files ahead of time. I have found Gregg's
articles to be helpful on upgrades and moves as well.  Watch out for the DCA
switch on your POAs.  I would disable it.
