- Microsoft Mail and Schedule+ Extensions for Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, version 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This article explains the steps necessary to install version 3.0 of
Microsoft Mail and Schedule+ Extensions for Microsoft Windows version 3.1
for Workgroups.
Postoffice/Server Upgrade
-------------------------
Working from the Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) workstation that contains
the WFWG postoffice, follow the steps below to complete the Extension
process.
NOTE: Before you proceed, make sure all users on the postoffice have exited
and signed out of Mail.
1. To convert the existing WFWG postoffice to a full version 3.0 Microsoft Mail
for PC Networks postoffice, run the EXTEND.EXE program from the Server
Version - Disk 1 disk. Follow the instructions, inserting disks as prompted,
until the Extend process is complete.
a. You will be prompted to specify a directory for the mail executables.
WARNING: Do NOT specify the Windows directory. Microsoft suggests you use
the C:\MAILEXE directory.
b. You will be prompted to specify the location of the current WFWG
postoffice. The default is C:\WINDOWS\WGPO.
2. Using the disks labeled Windows Based and OS/2 Presentation Manager Based
Workstation Version - Disk 1, run the INSTALL.EXE program. Follow the
instructions, inserting disks as prompted, until the Install process is
complete.
You will be prompted to specify the location of the Mail executables. Specify
the same directory location you specified in step 1a above.
3. Using the disks labeled MS-DOS Based Workstation Version - Disk 1, run the
INSTALL.EXE program. Follow the instructions, inserting disks as prompted,
until the Install process is complete.
You will be prompted to specify the location of the Mail executables. Specify
the same directory location you specified in step 1a above.
NOTE: You should always install the MS-DOS-based workstation even if all your
users will be running different workstation software. The MS-DOS client
installation copies files needed by other Microsoft Mail components. It may
also be helpful when troubleshooting the Mail system.
4. From the WFWG File Manager, share the Mail executables directory with full
rights.
5. From File Manager, share the postoffice directory with full rights.
6. For Macintosh users only: Use the disk labeled Apple Macintosh Workstation
Version and follow the steps listed in on page 10 in Chapter 1 of the
"Microsoft Mail Administrator's Guide."
7. Use the Mail administrator program (ADMIN.EXE) on a nondedicated WFWG
server.
After the WFWG postoffice has been upgraded to a full Mail 3.0 postoffice, the
postoffice administration is handled through the MS-DOS based Administrator
(ADMIN.EXE) program. By default, the Administrator program looks for the
postoffice on the current directory of drive M. If you are using a
peer-to-peer network and the postoffice is located on a nondedicated server,
use the MS-DOS SUBST command to assign the M drive to the postoffice. For
convenience, you can add this SUBST command to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For
example:
subst m: c:\windows\wgpo
NOTE: The term "nondedicated" refers to a WFWG machine being used both as a
workstation and as the postoffice server.
8. Create the Schedule+ Mail Administrator account "adminsch". For more
information, see page 7 in Chapter 2 of the "Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows
Administrator's Guide."
9. Use the Schedule+ disks and follow the instructions on pages 7 and 8 of the
"Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows Administrator's Guide" to upgrade the server
portion of Schedule+.
The Postoffice upgrade is now complete.

directory.
