Using the WSUPDATE Utility

Using WSUPDATE to Update Files on Client Workstations

Use SYSCON for NetWare 2 and NetWare 3™ workstations. Use the NetWare Administrator graphical utility or the NETADMIN text utility for NetWare 4™ workstations. All three procedures are documented in this section.

Using SYSCON

This utility is used only with NetWare 2 and 3 networks.

For NetWare 4 networks, use the NWADMIN or NetWare Administrator utility to edit a specific container profile. See “Using NetWare Administrator” or “Using NETADMIN” for information.
