#### Novell Upgrade Wizard

Novell recently released Novell Upgrade Wizard, a Windows-based tool that simplifies the process of upgrading from NetWare 3 to intraNetWare or NetWare 4.11. Novell Upgrade Wizard allows you to quickly and easily upgrade your company's network or intranet without changing server structure, access rights, or print configurations. With Novell Upgrade Wizard, you can even test different Novell Directory Services (NDS) scenarios by dragging and dropping users and network resources from a NetWare 3 server to the NDS tree.

Novell Upgrade Wizard also allows you to perform the following tasks:

- Because you run Novell Upgrade Wizard from any Windows 95 or Windows NT workstation rather than from the server console, you can upgrade any server to which you have rights from a central location.
- You can migrate a NetWare 3 server's file system and bindery information simultaneously.
- You can troubleshoot upgrade problems as Novell Upgrade Wizard alerts you to these problems and offers solutions.

You can download Novell Upgrade Wizard free from http://www.novell.com/download. For more information about Novell Upgrade Wizard, visit Novell's web site (http://www.novell.com/intranetware/upgrade/wizard.html). You can also call 1-800-NETWARE or 1-801-861-5588.

#### New GroupWise Gateways

Novell recently released a GroupWise gateway for Lotus Notes and the beta version of a GroupWise gateway for Microsoft Exchange. These gateways provide transparent interoperability between messaging systems by converting messages to and from the GroupWise, Lotus Notes, and Microsoft Exchange formats. The gateways preserve the features that are unique to each messaging system. In addition, these gateways allow you to access the information that resides in the GroupWise, Lotus Notes, and Microsoft Exchange address books.

The GroupWise gateway for Lotus Notes, which runs on OS/2, supports GroupWise 4.1 or higher. The GroupWise gateway for Microsoft Exchange, which runs on Windows NT, supports GroupWise 5.2 or higher.

You can download the GroupWise gateway for Lotus Notes free from http://www.novell.com/download. You will be able to download the GroupWise gateway for Microsoft Exchange as soon as it is available.
