Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software

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

5Create a NetWare group called “NETXUSERS.”

6Add each user that uses a client workstation running the NetWare Shell (NETX) software to the “NETXUSER” group.

7Modify 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.

8Create 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

1Use 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.
