Understanding Client Tools

Starting NetWare User Tools for DOS (NETUSER)

Starting NetWare User Tools for DOS (NETUSER)

The NetWare User Tools for DOS are found in the NETUSER utility. This utility is available only in NetWare 4 packages. It is not included in the NetWare Client Kit or other versions of NetWare.

Because NETUSER is a NetWare 4 utility, you need to already have a connection to the network and be logged in to a NetWare 4 network. The utility files are found in the SYS:PUBLIC directory.

For more information, see Chapter 7, “Logging In from a NetWare Client

Workstation.”.

Prerequisites

Before you can start NETUSER, your client workstation requires the following:

A physical connection to the network

DR DOS® , Novell DOS® , PC-DOS, or MS-DOS* loaded and running

Client software installed or upgraded

Complete the procedures in Chapter 5, “Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client Software.”

An authenticated connection to the network

For more information, see Chapter 7, “Logging In from a NetWare Client Workstation.”

Procedure

 

1

Map the next network drive to SYS:PUBLIC by typing

 

 

MAP N SYS:PUBLIC <Enter>

 

 

NOTE:

This mapping might already be set up as a search drive in a login script for your client

 

workstation. Use the MAP utility to view a list of existing drive mappings. If a drive

 

mapping already exists for the SYS:PUBLIC directory, then proceed to Step 2.

 

2

Change to the network drive that is mapped to the PUBLIC subdirectory.
