SUMMARY

This article explains how to enable the archive directory feature on the Microsoft Exchange GroupWise Connector.

MORE INFORMATION

The archive directory is used to archive messages flowing through the Microsoft Exchange Router for Novell GroupWise. The directory is activated through a parameter switch in the registry, and is used to capture damaged or bad messages. The archive directory can also be used to diagnose directory synchronization issues.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To activate the archive directory, follow these steps:
  1. Start the Windows NT Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
  2. Locate the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LME-GWISE\Parameters

  3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and add the following value:

    Value Name: Archive
    Data Type: REG_DWORD
    Value:1

  4. Restart the Microsoft Exchange Router for Novell GroupWise.
This creates an archive directory in the \Programfiles\Exchsrvr\Conndata\Gwrouter directory.

NOTE: When you activate the archive feature and let it continue indefinitely, it eventually fills the hard disk with archived items. It is recommended that you activate the archive feature only during troubleshooting sessions.
