Installing a windows workstation and starting NetWare administrator

If you want to use the NetWare Administrator graphical utility to set up your network, follow these instructions to first install Windows software on the workstation.

The following list describes the prerequesites:

• A workstation cabled to the network and running Windows 3.1

• At least one NetWare Services server installed

• The WSDOS_1, WSWIN_1, WSDRV_1 and WSDRV_2 diskettes

• 1.2MB of free disk space on the workstation

1. Insert the WSDOS_1 diskette into your workstation's disk drive.

2. Load the client installation program by typing

   drive:install
   

   Replace drive with the letter of your workstation's disk drive.

3. Follow the installation instructions on the workstation screen.

   Use the arrow keys to move between the fields. Press <Enter> to modify a particular field.

   Because this workstation is being installed to get you started with the network setup, you can do a standard installation with the default settings and configure other options later.

4. Exit the installation program.

5. Reboot your workstation.

   In order for your modifications or new installation to function, you need to reboot your workstation.

6. From the network drive F:, use the LOGIN command to log in to the network as ADMIN.

   The LOGIN command must include your context. Depending on the Directory tree structure you set up for the server during installation, use the name typing sequence of Common Name, Organizational Unit, Organization, and Country.

   For example, if you installed this server in an Organization called ABC_INC, with no Organizational Unit or Country defined in the Directory tree, you would type

   LOGIN .ADMIN.ABC_INC
   

   For more information on the LOGIN syntax and options, see ``LOGIN''.

7. Enter a password if prompted; then press <Enter>.

8. Map the next network drive to the PUBLIC directory of Volume SYS: by typing

   MAP N SYS:PUBLIC
   

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

   For example, if you mapped network drive Z:, you would type:

   Z:
   

10. Start Windows.

11. Select the NetWare program group or another program group you want to start the NetWare Administrator from.

12. From the Program Manager File menu, choose New.

13. Select ``Program Item.''

14. Choose OK.

15. Enter NWADMIN in the ``Description'' field and press <Tab>.

16. Choose ``BROWSE.''

17. From the ``Drives'' drop-down list, select the drive that points to SYS:PUBLIC.

18. From the list under ``File Name'', select NWADMIN.EXE and choose OK.

    The path to the executable file is placed in the ``Command Line'' text box.

19. Again, choose OK, and then choose ``Yes''.

    The NetWare Administrator is created as a program item icon in the group you selected.

    You can now use the NetWare Administrator graphical utility to complete your network setup.

20. To start NetWare Administrator, choose the ``NWADMIN'' icon.

21. Before exiting Windows, from the Options menu, select Save Settings on Exit.
