Siemens V4.0 8.2 Creating Installation Diskettes

Installing Network and Administrative Client Software Creating Installation Diskettes

Product Manual U7613-J-Z815-6-76

Advanced Server includes Microsoft Network Client and LAN Manager client softwar e and

documentation. Microsoft Windows 95/98, Windows NT Workstation, and Windows for

Workgroups software and documentation are available from Microsoft.

Microsoft Network Client runs on computers running the MS-DOS operating system.

Microsoft Network Client enables a computer to use resources on a network from e ither

domains or workgroups, as well as resources on other networks (such as LAN Mana ger

networks). A computer running Microsoft Network Client can use printers, pro grams, and

data stored on an Advanced Server computer.

To issue Microsoft Network Client commands, use the pop-up interface or type commands

at the MS-DOS command prompt.

The pop-up interface eliminates the need for remembering Microsoft Network Clie nt

commands at the MS-DOS command prompt. You can use it to view your current connec-

tions, browse for shared resources, and make new connections. It is a cha racter-based

utility; you must use the keyboard, not a mouse.

Experienced MS-DOS users familiar with Microsoft Network Client commands may p refer

to enter commands at the MS-DOS command prompt rather than using the pop-up

interface.

For more information on using Microsoft Network Client, see the Windows NT Networking

Guide in the Windows NT Server Resource Kit.

8.2 Creating Installation Diskettes

Advanced Server includes the MSCLIENT share which provides disk images for th e

following Microsoft client software:

●Network Client for MS-DOS (requires 2 diskettes)

●LAN Manager for MS-DOS Client (requires 4 diskettes)

●TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (requires 1 diskette)

●Update for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (requires 1 diskette)

You can create installable client diskettes at the Advanced Server command prompt by

using the Advanced Server makeclients command or connecting an MS-DOS client to the

MSCLIENT share and using the MS-DOS copydisk command.

Before you can create installation diskettes, you must install the msclients package

on the server computer as described in section “Installing the msclients pac kage”.
