Groupwise Experts I need your help.
Okay I will admit this, I am a old Exchange person and I can argue the pros and cons of MS-Exchange vs GroupWise all day long. Both systems have their merits and I can play devils advocate for either system. One function I do miss, how can I easily find out what e-mail groups a individual is a member of without looking at every group one by one? With exchange client (outlook), you can right click on the user's name in the address book and see what groupshe/she is a member of. This helps administration of very large e-mails systems easier with Exchange then GroupWise. Any ideas on how I can determine group membership using the GroupWise Client or any other utility?

I don't think there is a way to do this from the Groupwise client, though I'm not 100% sure. You can check it very easily from either NWAdmin or ConsoleOne. Just open up the details of the user account. NWAdmin will have a 'Distribution lists' button on the right side. I don't know the exact tab name on ConsoleOne, but it would be under the main 'Groupwise' tab on the client details

Since our main groupwise server is in a ASP environment I do not have access to NWADMIN or Consoleone. I was hoping for a 3rd party utility if I could not do this from a client.

Get DSReport which is a freeware report utility from http://www.WolfgangSchreiber.de. Then you can select the report for Distribution lists and filter on the member name you are inquiring about. It will give you a list of every list they are a member of. If you need more help on setting up your specific report, just let me know and I will be happy to help.

grbeckmeyer had it pegged. I have recently upgraded to GW6 which can only be administered properly via Console One. Simply highlight the user and select properties to open a series of preperty screens. You want to choose the 'Memberships/Group Memberships tab'(5th to the right)and it will show you all of the grops the user is assigned to.
