Why Use ConsoleOne?
Novell is committed to ConsoleOne as a single management tool and is
working hard to improve its capabilities and performance so you won’t need
legacy tools like NetWare Administrator. Following are some of the
advantages of ConsoleOne over legacy tools. A few limitations are also listed
after the advantages.
Capability Enhancement
“Browsing and Finding
Objects” on page 30
If a tree is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later and is
configured for DNS federation, you can access
contexts in that tree whether or not you are logged in
to it. This enables you to make rights and
membership assignments across trees.
“Creating User Accounts”
on page 43
You can now create rights assignments and volume
space restrictions for new users through a template.
“Defining and Using
Auxiliary Classes” on
page 72
You can now extend individual eDirectory objects
with the properties defined in auxiliary classes.
Previously, only applications could do this.
“Viewing and Modifying
Server and File System
Information” on page 90
You can now modify the properties of multiple files,
folders, or volumes simultaneously. You can also
launch NetWare Management Portal from the server
object.
“Editing Object
Properties” on page 36
You can now customize the property pages for each
type of object by reordering, hiding, or showing
individual pages. Your customizations are saved
across ConsoleOne sessions.
“Installing and Starting
ConsoleOne” on page 18
You can now install and run ConsoleOne on Linux*,
Solaris*, and Tru64* computers in addition to
Windows and NetWare.
