Default Software Distribution not working

Hi,

We have GroupWise 7.0.2 with several post offices. All of our clients except a handful of them are using Groupwise 6 sp4 and I am trying to push the new version of GroupWise by using the Software Distribution Management.

I created a main one on our bridgehead server, which has the MTA and GWIA running. Just for the testing purposes, I created another SDD on one of our remote servers for its PO, which resides on the same server as the SDD.

I configured the setting for the SDD in Console one for the post office to get the updates from the folder on its own server. I setup the test user to map to the shared folder that everyone has read access.

According to a documentation I found on Internet regarding this matter, I copied the setup.cfg file, from \\SDD\client to \\SDD\client\win32 (I have tried it in its original location with no outcome). The only settings that matter that I changed on this file was "ShowDialogs=No" and "PromptUntilUpdated=Yes".

Restarted the post office and it successfully logs into the Software Distribution Directory.

When I log into the GroupWise, it does not pop up the notification that there is a new version and do you want to update your client now.

What am I missing? I have upgraded our GroupWise 6 to 7 almost 6-7 months ago but I haven't been able to upgrade the clients.

One more thing that the BuildNumber in software.ini file is 3060 and the BumpNumber on the client is 0. I have changed the bump number to 10 and the build number to 3070 to see if it would make any difference but did not help.

Any ideas why this is not working?

Thank you
