Yes I see a big problem. Matt's right. GroupWise works top down. The higher
administrative object should be the higher version. So primary domain needs
to be GW7 first of all. A domain can hold post offices (PO's). Any PO's
under the primary can then be set to GW6x or GW7 even when another secondary
domain is still GW6x. Clients can connect to any PO with a same or higher
version (the PO is a higher object in the top down approach to the client)

If you want to be sure how to upgrade read the upgrade guide by Caledonia
