My wife is a state employee (Georgia Department of Behavioral Health &
Developmental Disabilities which I believe is part of DHR) that works
from home. The Groupwise Server went down on Mon of this week thus no
email access. She had been told that they were having hard drive
issues and one of the harddrives was being replaced. Today is Fri and
she still can't login to her Novell Groupwise account, she gets a
message that her inbox is unavailable. After that she went to an
agency that is based in Florida (ASI Works) their web site and clicked
on an email address link. She then noticed that a second IE window had
opened minimized, when she clicked on it she was in her groupwise
account. Oh and she had closed the tab where she had originally got
the error message in her failed attempt to login.

Okay, maybe a dumb question or two but, WTF? Is this second window a
delayed entry from the failed login and since she closed that tab used
for the failure IE just opened it in a separate window? Or is there
something more bizarre going on? Also, why is it taking so long for
this server to be restored?
