Update Required on NetWare 4.11 and NetWare 4.2 Servers
NetWare 4.11 and NetWare 4.2 servers require an update on the server prior
to the installation of this Client. The server update information is located in
TID 2952441. This update addresses an issue in which a file opened once by
different threads (one open in each thread) in an application and then closed
leaves an instance of the file open, even after exiting the application. This
problem could cause the server to run out of memory or hang.
TCP/IP Source Path Parameter for Unattended Installation
The TCP/IP Source Path parameter has been added to the unattended network
installation. This parameter is not included in Novell Client Install Manager.
To use this parameter, you must add it manually to the UNATTEND.TXT file:
!TCPIP_SOURCE_PATH = path
This parameter is used with Automatic Client Upgrade (ACU) to upgrade an
IP client. Specify the full path to the source files for the Microsoft TCP/IP
installation files. If this parameter is not specified, the location where the ACU
was run from will be used as the default.
Additionally, all parameters to configure TCP/IP are available as well. These
are the same parameter names that are specified by Microsoft for use during
an unattended operating system install. They should be added under the
Novell Client section of the unattend file.
For more information on unatteded network installations, see “Installing
Clients from the Network” on page 19.
Password Issues
We recommend that administrators configure NT workstations to not use any
of the Microsoft password restrictions available in User Manager. Novell
Client for Windows NT/2000/XP works best if password restrictions are left
up to NDS.
