Nov.GW.Account.Reconnect

Reconnects GroupWise user account with NetWare user account after NetWare user account move or rename

If you move or rename a NetWare account for which there is a GroupWise account without this command afterwards you will get the error message "An error occurred converting the GroupWise object to its NDS counterpart" in ConsoleOne.

The GroupWise account will get the same name as the NetWare account when Nov.GW.Account.Reconnect is executed. Use Nov.GW.Account.Rename to rename if needed. Notice that it can take a minute or two before it is possible to log on to GroupWise if the name changes.

(Nov.GW.Account.Reconnect is equivalent to: ConsoleOne > Tools > GroupWise Utilities > GW / eDirectory Association / Associate objects.)

Requirements

·	NetWare client on the local machine, log on as admin

·	Novell controls

·	GroupWise 6 Support Pack 3 or higher

·	GroupWare client on the local machine
