run NetWare Deployment Manager to update the network.
To update the network for NetWare 6, you must do the following:
1 Log in from a Windows 95/98 or Windows NT/2000 workstation to your
existing network as a user with the Supervisor right.
If prompted to log into the network while using NetWare Deployment
Manager, you can enter the server name or click Details and specify the
IP address.
2 Run NetWare Deployment Manager (NWDEPLOY.EXE), located on the
NetWare 6 Operating System CD.
