To add to Mike....

IA is not supported by the API gateway, but here's a workaround....

Run the API gateway on Netware, and it'll support the dot ;-)

Then, after the import, go to C1, and select the
"GroupWise System" namespace.

Then use the Alias migration util to convert them into native internet
addressing.....

SnapIn's for GW in C1 needs to be at least 7.0.3
(Tested on 7.0.3HP1)

When you look in C1, after it's powered up, you'll find some top leafs..

NDS and "GW Systems"

Those are namespaces

Tom,

I was searching in Console One and wasn't able to find the GroupWise
System namespace?

I am currently running the
C1 1.3.6
GRPWISE 7.0.3

Do I need to upgrade to the HP1 patch in order for that option to
become available?

Thanks,
Jerry
