Accessing NetWare Resources

You can use Client Service for NetWare to access resources on a NetWare server. You can also access bindery-based NetWare utilities, such as System Console (Syscon), Remote Console (Rconsole), and Printer Console (Pconsole). In a NetWare bindery-based server environment, use Syscon, the primary administration tool, to set up user accounts, define policies, and grant user access permissions to the NetWare network.

NOTE

---

Although Client Service supports connections to NDS servers, you cannot use Virtual Loadable Module (VLM) utilities or other utilities specific to NDS. To access these utilities you need to install Novell Client for Windows 2000.

Many Windows 2000 commands can be used to perform functions on a NetWare server by using Windows 2000. Table 24.5 lists some commonly used NetWare utilities and their Windows 2000 equivalents.

Table 24.5 NetWare Utilities and Their Windows 2000 Equivalents

Additionally, you can use the Printers folder to connect to and manipulate a NetWare printer.

CAUTION

---

The NetWare Attach, Capture, Login, and Logout utilities are not supported in Windows 2000 and can cause errors when run on a computer running Windows 2000.

For more information about NetWare utility support in Windows 2000, see Windows 2000 Professional Help.

For information about NetWare administration utilities, see your NetWare documentation.

Accessing NetWare Volumes

You can access NetWare volumes either through the Windows 2000 user interface or through the Windows 2000 command-line interface.

To connect to a NetWare volume using the graphical user interface

On the desktop, double-click My Network Places.

If only Windows 2000 or Windows NT-based network resources are shown, double-click Entire Network, and then double-click NetWare or Compatible Network. Tree icons for NDS directory trees and computer icons for individual NetWare computers appear.

Double-click a tree or volume to see its contents; you can double-click these to see other computers or volumes.

When you find the volume or folder you want to access, double-click it to expand it.

- Or -

To map a local drive to the volume or folder, right-click the volume or folder, and then click Map Network Drive.

NOTE

---

When you map a network drive, by default you are connected under the user name and password you used to log on. To connect under a different user name, type the user name in the Connect As text box.

You can also connect to a NetWare volume from the command prompt.

To connect to an NDS tree

At the command prompt, type:

net use drive: treenamevolume.OrgName.OrgName [/u:UserName.OrgName.OrgName[password]]

where:




treename is the name of the tree volume.

OrgName is the tree location to which you want to connect.

UserName.OrgName.OrgName is the user name and context for this tree (unless it is your default tree).

To connect to an individual NetWare volume

At the command prompt, type:

net use drive: UNCname|NetWarename

For example, to use UNC naming syntax to redirect drive G to the folder DataMydata of the Thor volume on a server called Nw4, type:

net use G: nw4thordatamydata

The message "The password is invalid for server namevolume name[directory name…]" indicates that your user name and password are not authenticated.

To connect with a valid user name and password

At the command prompt, add your user name and password to the command line by typing:

/user: username password

For example, to use drive G to connect a user named User1 with the password Password1 to the DataMydata directory within the volume Volume1 on a server called Nw4, type:

net use G: nw4volume1datamydata /user:user1 password1

NOTE

---

When you connect to NetWare file resources from the command prompt, you can use the next available drive letter by replacing the drive letter with an asterisk (*) in the syntax. For example:

net use * UNCname or NetWarename

If you prefer to be prompted for a password, you can replace the password in the command line with an asterisk (*). When you type your password at the comand prompt, it does not appear on the screen.

Accessing NetWare Printers

You can access NetWare printers either through the Windows 2000 user interface or through the Windows 2000 command-line interface.

To connect to a NetWare printer using the graphical user interface

Open Printers to start the Add Printer Wizard.

Double-click Add Printer, and then click Next.

Click Network printer, and then click Next.

In Name, type the name of a printer in the following format:

servernamesharename

- Or -

To find the NetWare printer, click Next. Follow the remaining instructions in the Add Printer Wizard.

The icon for the printer appears in your Printers folder.

You can also connect to a NetWare printer from the command prompt.

NOTE

---

When you run any application that writes directly to a predefined port, the net use command works like the NetWare capture utility, associating the NetWare print queue with the port.

To redirect output from a port to a print queue

At the command prompt, type:

net use lpt1 nw4memos

This redirects output from LPT1 to the NetWare print queue called Memos on the server Nw4. This is equivalent to the NetWare capture q=memos s=nw4 l=1 command line.

To send files that do not require formatting to LPT1

After you redirect output with net use, type:

copy <filename> <servernameprintqueue>

To connect to a printer in an NDS tree

At the command prompt, type:

net use drive: <treename><printer.OrgName.OrgName> [/u:<UserName.OrgName.OrgName> [<password>]]

where treename is the name of the tree printer, OrgName is the tree location to which you want to connect, and UserName.OrgName.OrgName is the user name and context for this tree (unless it is your default tree).
