Groupwise 7 with Outlook 2007

I had went through a lot of forum and knowledge base from Novell and others open forum, no 1 had really succeed to implement outlook 2007 with groupwise 7 in their experience. Here I would like to share how my success story related to outlook 2007 integration with groupwise 7.

I am currenly installed groupwise 7 sp3 in my windows xp sp3. Additional thing you need to install from there is the grouwise connector which you need to run it separately once the groupwise 7 sp3 client is successful install. Once you had done this, the groupwise is ready to work with outlook 2003. To get it work on outlook 2007, you will not able to get it work on enterprise office version. I had run to the problem to fix that is due to the build version different within office 2007 enterprise and professional. My success story is on Professional edition which run the build number of outlook 2007 (12.0.4518.1014). Although the patch is always important to keep your machine secure, in order to work with groupwise with outlook 2007, you shouldn't patch the security patches to the outlook 2007. You can still patch the rest of your office application.

If you had applied the office sp1 completely, the version number will change to (12.0.6320.5000). This will be the trouble version which you have problem with the calender, attachment and etc.

I had tested with more than 4 xp machines we have and confirm this solution is worked.

Outlook 2007 with groupwise 7 integration no longer a dream.
