Novell Client Multiple Client Install Login Script 11/13/01 Important: Read this sample script in Notepad or WordPad to accommodate the log line lengths. Purpose If you plan to install the Novell Client software on multiple workstations, you can install from the network by copying files to the server and modifying the login script. Even if your network has workstations on multiple platforms, you can install and upgrade the client software on all platforms when users log in. The process requires five tasks: 1. Create a folder on the NetWare server. 2. Copy Novell Client files and other required files to this folder (workstations can then read the files during login). 3. Grant rights to the new folder. 4. Create or update the appropriate configuration file (install.cfg, setup.ini, nwsetup.ini, or unattended.txt file) for each platform-specific client. 5. Create or modify the appropriate login script. A sample script is included in this file. If you are using this script to replace the Microsoft Client with the Novell Client for Windows 95, some user intervention is necessary. Due to Microsoft's limited scripting capabilities, users must close an open DOS box before the workstation is rebooted and the installation is completed. If you are installing the Novell Client for Windows 95 on a new workstation or are upgrading an existing client, no user intervention is necessary. This is not an issue for Windows NT.
