Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software

Setting Up an MS Windows Shared Network Directory for NETX and VLM Client

Workstations

5 Create a NetWare group called “NETXUSERS.”

6 Add each user that uses a client workstation running the NetWare Shell (NETX)

software to the “NETXUSER” group.

7 Modify the system login script or container login script to include the following

IF…THEN statement:

IF MEMBER OF "NETXUSER" AND %LOGIN_NAME <> SUPERVISOR THEN

#C:\COMMAND /C SYS_SET.BAT

Ensure that the information within the quotes is in the proper upper or lower

case for the user group you speciﬁed.

8 Create the following batch file and save it as SYS_SET.BAT in the

SYS:PUBLIC directory:

@echo OFF

IF "%NETDRV%"=="NETX" goto NETX >nul

NCOPY F:SYSTEM.NET F:SYSTEM.INI >NUL

GOTO END

NETX

NCOPY F:SYSTEM.NTX F:SYSTEM.INI >NUL

:END

Setting Up Individual Client Workstations and User Directories

Prerequisites

• A client workstation logged in to the network, running Novell DOS 7 or later, DR

DOS 5 or later, MS-DOS 3 or later, or PC-DOS 3 or later.

• Rights to access user’s home directories

Procedure

1 Use the SETUP /N option to install a copy of MS Windows for each user that uses

both client types–the NetWare DOS Requester and NetWare Shell.

The /N parameter creates individual .INI and .GRP ﬁles for the each user.

Ensure that you are installing to a unique MS Windows directory for each user

that accesses the shared MS Windows System directory.

Allow the software to update the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS and ﬁles

on each client workstation.
