1.0 Overview of NetTools
------------------------
Welcome to the NetTools, a collection of software utilities that greatly
enhances the networking capabilities of Microsoft Windows by providing
centralized menu management, workstation security, scripting capability,
and printer administration.
NetTools includes Applications Manger, Secure Station Tools, Desktop
Control Language, and Print Manager.
2.0 Purpose of This Guide
-------------------------
This guide is a step-by-step overview of the major features of NetTools
and how to use them effectively. By following the procedures outlined,
the package can be installed and configured in a short time.
This is not an in-depth guide to NetTools, but it provides a useful
foundation that will help you understand and evaluate this product.
Please refer to the on-line Help available in each module for detailed
information on the many NetTools features.
3.0 System Requirements
-----------------------
The following list contains the minimum system requirements to run this
version of NetTools.
* An 80386/SX or higher based computer.
* 4 megabytes of memory.
* One 1.44 MB (3-1/2") floppy disk drive (for installation).
* MS-DOS Version 5.0 or later.
* Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 or later, or Windows for Workgroups
Version 3.1 or later.
* A monitor and VGA graphics card or other high-resolution graphics card
compatible with Windows Version 3.1 or later.
* A Microsoft Windows-compatible mouse, recommended but not required.
If you are running a local area network, you should use Novell NetWare
3.11, 3.12, or NetWare 4.0 in bindery emulation mode. You must be
running a network while using Print Manager or Print Manager Editor.
4.0 Using the Release Notes
---------------------------
The Release Notes for each module exist in Windows Write format. These
files are copied to the NETTOOLS directory during installation. The .WRI
file is located on the module diskette in an uncompressed format so you
can print it before you install the module.
The file names for each module are listed in the following table:
Applications Manager READAM.WRI
Print Manager READPM.WRI
Desktop Control Language READDCL.WRI
4.1 To view the release notes
-----------------------------
1. Run the Windows Write program (WRITE.EXE).
2. Choose Open from the File menu.
3. Select the appropriate .WRI on NetTools Disk 1 and choose OK.
5.0 Applications Manager
------------------------
As Windows loads, the McAfee splash screen appears followed by the
Applications Manager window. Applications Manager is the NetTools
replacement for Program Manager. Besides offering all the features
of Program Manager, it gives you substantial control over the desktops
of your LAN users.
5.1 Two Modes: Administration and User
---------------------------------------
Applications Manager has two modes of operation. User mode is the
normal operating mode, used by all network users. Administration mode
is a special configuration mode, used by the network administrator only,
for setting up options affecting all network users of Applications
Manager. In administration mode, you create network groups available to
all of your network users - or just the ones you designate. In user
mode, users create their own personal groups which, like Program Manager
groups, are available only to themselves.
Administration mode is identified by Applications Manager -
Administration Mode in the title bar. The menus in Administration mode
are slightly different.
Note: Applications Manager does not save your changes unless you select
Save Workspace. You have the choice of keeping your changes or
discarding them.
5.2 Personal groups
-------------------
Personal groups are very similar to Program Manager's program groups.
You can create a new personal group and then add applications to it, or
you can import an existing Program Manager group directly into
Applications Manager. (This does not overwrite the Program Manager
group file, but creates a new file with extension .APP).
5.2.1 To import existing Program Manager groups
-----------------------------------------------
1. Choose File/New/Personal Group.
2. In the New Personal Group dialog box, choose Browse.
3. Using the Drives and Directories boxes, select the Windows
directory.
4. Select ACCESSOR.GRP and choose OK.
5. Choose OK in the New Personal Group dialog box.
The Accessories group appears, containing all the application icons
available in the Program Manager group. You may repeat this procedure
for any other .GRP files you wish to import.
6. Choose File/Save Workspace to save the group in Applications
Manager format. (This does not overwrite the original .GRP file.)
5.2.2 To create new personal groups
-----------------------------------
1. Choose File/New/Personal Group.
2. Type My Group in the Description field and choose OK.
An empty My Group window displays.
5.2.3 To add applications to the personal group
-----------------------------------------------
Applications can be added to a Group manually or automatically. In this
example you will add the Calculator program manually and the Notepad
program automatically, using the drag-and-drop feature.
1. Choose File/New/Item.
2. Type Calculator in the Description field.
3. Type calc.exe in the Command field and choose OK.
4. Select the Notepad icon in the Accessories group, drag it to the
My Group window and release the mouse.
My Group now contains two icons: Calculator, added manually, and
Notepad, moved from the Accessories group.
5. Choose File/Save Workspace to save the workspace.
Hint: Icons can be copied rather than moved by pressing CTRL and then
dragging a copy of the selected icon to the desired location.
5.2.4 To create a subgroup within a group
-----------------------------------------
1. Select the My Group window, then choose File/New Subgroup.
2. Type Level 2 in the Description field and choose OK. An icon for
the Level 2 Subgroup appears in the My Group window.
3. Choose File/Save Workspace to save the workspace. Items or additional
subgroups can also be added to a subgroup following the same procedure.
5.3 Network Groups
------------------
The personal groups you just created are available only to your
workstation. Now you will create a network group, available to other
users on the network. You will add an item that only you can see and
another item that you cannot see. Now you will begin to see how
Applications Manager helps you manage your network - you determine the
applications to which your users have access.
To create or edit a network group, you must enter Administration mode.
5.3.1 To access Administration mode
-----------------------------------
Press CTRL+ALT+A simultaneously.
The title bar now reads Applications Manager - Administration Mode.
5.3.2 To create network groups and assign user rights
-----------------------------------------------------
You should be in Administration mode before starting this procedure.
1. Choose File/New/Network Group to add a new network group.
2. Type Group for Everyone in the Description field.
3. Choose OK to close the New Network Group dialog box.
4. Choose File/New/Item to add an item to the group.
5. Type Windows Write in the Description field.
6. Type write.exe in the Command field.
7. Choose Rights to assign access rights.
8. Initially, all users have rights to the item. Highlight your name in
the Groups and Users list box and choose Add.
9. Choose OK in both the Access Rights and the New Item - Group for
Everyone dialog boxes.
10. In the same manner (steps 4 through 9), add Windows Paintbrush
(PBRUSH.EXE) as another item. This time, select another user - not
yourself - in the Access Rights dialog box.
11. Choose File/Save Workspace to save the workspace.
You have created the network group, Group for Everyone, and made it
available to all users. As a user, you will see only Windows Write in
the group. The user you selected for Windows Paintbrush will not be able
to see Windows Write. We will add one more group, then you will see the
results.
Note: You do not need to assign any special NetWare rights. It's all
done from the Access Rights dialog box.
5.3.3 To create a network startup group
---------------------------------------
If Applications Manager is the shell, it will automatically launch a
startup group each time Windows starts. The startup group (STARTUP.APP)
automatically loads applications on each user's desktop.
1. Choose File/New/Network Group.
2. Type Startup in the Description field.
3. Choose OK.
4. Insert any items that you want users to start each time they run
Applications Manager.
You can insert Secure Station Tools (WWEXT.EXE) into the Startup group
so the screen saver and password protection are available.
5. Choose File/Save Workspace to save the workspace.
The Startup Group window displays only in Administration mode, so users
never see it.
5.3.4 To return to User mode
----------------------------
1. Select Exit Administration Mode from the Administration menu.
Keyboard Shortcut: Press CTRL+ALT+A.
2. If you have made any change to your workspace, a message box
displays. Choose Yes to save your workspace.
Applications Manager changes to user mode. Your personal groups display
again, and you now see the group Group for Everyone with only one item,
Windows Write.
Hint: Applications Manager offers additional control over your users'
desktops, such as the ability to remove commands from menus, and a
password to protect Administration mode. These features are described
in the next section.
6.0 NetTools Security Features
------------------------------
NetTools provides enhanced security for and access to network features.
It offers password protection for menus and applications through
Applications Manager and workstation security through Secure Station.
6.1 Setting Passwords
---------------------
Almost everything in Applications Manager can be protected with a
password. In Administration mode, you can password-protect network
groups or individual items in the groups. Every user who opens the
group or item will be prompted for the password you have specified.
Similarly, users can password protect their personal groups and items.
6.1.1 To set a password on a personal group
-------------------------------------------
1. Select the My Group window.
2. Choose Properties from the File menu.
Mouse Shortcut: Click the right mouse button on the title bar of
the My Group window.
3. Check the Password check box.
4. Type PASSWORD in the Password text box and choose OK.
5. Retype PASSWORD in the confirmation dialog box and choose OK.
6. To check your password, select the group, type in your password, and
choose OK.
6.2 Password Protecting Workstations
------------------------------------
Secure Station is both a screen saver and security mechanism. Like any
screen saver, Secure Station automatically blanks the screen after a
period of inactivity. To display the workspace, press any key or move
the mouse, then type your network password. You can start the screen
saver manually if you have to leave your workstation briefly.
6.2.1 To manually secure the workstation
----------------------------------------
1. Choose File/Run from the Applications Manager menu, type
WWEXT.EXE, and choose OK.
2. Click once on the Secure Station icon, then select Secure Now to
activate the screen saver.
The Secure Station screen saver appears and remains until you move the
mouse or hit a key. The password box displays.
3. Type an invalid password and choose OK.
4. Now type your network password and choose OK.
The screen saver disappears, and the workspace display is restored.
Secure Station tells you the number of times that someone tried to
access your workstation while it was secured.
Users can be required to run Secure Station at all times by setting the
Require option in the Desktop Administration program.
Secure Station Tools also includes two additional user modules:
Intercom:
Intercom permits users to send messages across the network using
administrator-defined users and groups.
Clock:
Clock displays the current time and date. It also has a scheduling
feature, allowing messages to be displayed or applications launched at a
user-defined time.
6.3 Secure Station Administrator Override
-----------------------------------------
Occasionally, you may need access to a secured workstation in order to
perform some maintenance, but the user is away. Even you, the network
administrator, cannot get in if you don't know the user's password.
Desktop Administration includes an administrative override feature for
Secure Station. If enabled, this feature allows network management
personnel to gain access to any secured workstation on the network. To
maintain a high level of security while still allowing administrator
override, only the user ID that you specify can use the feature, and
those users will have to enter their network password.
6.3.1 To set up the override feature
------------------------------------
1. In the Network Security - Restrictions dialog box, check Override
Enable on.
2. Enter an override code. The override code applies to all workstations
that read this WWEXT.WWR file. There is only one override code; you
do not set different codes for each administrator.
3. Choose the Override Rights button to display the dialog box of the
same name.
The Override Rights dialog box displays. The first time you display
this dialog box, your user ID is added automatically.
4. The Users list box show all users on your primary server. Highlight
a user and choose Add, or double-click a user to add them. The
Override Rights list box shows the network ID who will be able to
override workstation security. No other network IDs will be accepted,
even if they enter the override code.
5. Choose OK in the Override Rights dialog box.
6. Choose OK in the Secure Station Tools - Restrictions dialog box.
7. Save the .WWR file.
Now you can access a secured workstation by following these steps:
1. When the workstation is secured, move the mouse or press any key to
get the Secure Station Password dialog box.
2. Type the Override Code in the Enter Password edit box, instead of
the user's password.
If the override codes match, Secure Station displays the Password
Override dialog box.
3. Select a server, enter your network user ID and network password.
Only IDs that were selected in the Override Rights dialog are
accepted. You may leave the user a brief message.
4. Choose OK.
The workstation unsecures.
If you left a message, the user receives it when she returns and
unsecures her workstation. Even if you did not leave a message of your
own, the user receives a message that you accessed the workstation.
Also, if anyone tried to use the override feature but was unsuccessful,
Secure Station leaves a message to that effect.
7.0 Desktop Administration
--------------------------
The Desktop Administration program controls the appearance and features
for Applications Manager and Secure Station Tools.
7.1 Applications Manager Restrictions
-------------------------------------
We will create settings so users will always have a Status Bar, by

bar.
7.1.2 To edit Applications Manager menu defaults
------------------------------------------------
1. Choose Menu Bar Defaults from the Options menu.
Check boxes in this box control the default settings for certain menu
items, and the confirmation options. The View setting determines the
default view for any personal groups the user creates.
2. Make sure that Status Bar is checked on (for use in a future
procedure) and choose OK to close the dialog.
7.1.3 To edit Applications Manager menu restrictions
----------------------------------------------------
1. Choose Options/Menu Bar Restrictions from the Desktop
Administration menu bar.
Across the top of this dialog box is a replica of the Applications
Manager menu bar.
2. Select Status Bar from the Options menu of the replica menu bar.
Now look at the Options menu again. Status Bar is not checked,
indicating that it has been removed from the menu. Users will see only
the checked items.
7.1.4 To test menu bar changes
------------------------------
1. Choose Test. You can now preview the menus as they will appear to a
user. Status Bar is not on the Options menu.
2. Choose OK to close the Menu Bar Restrictions dialog box.
3. Choose File/Save to save your changes.
Your changes take effect the next time a user clicks on any item in
Applications Manager.
7.1.5 To password protect a .WWR file
-------------------------------------
We recommend password protecting the .WWR files to ensure system-wide
security.
1. Choose Options/Change Password from the Desktop Administration
menu bar.
2. Type a password in the Change Password dialog box and choose OK.
3. Type the password again in the Password Confirmation dialog box
and choose OK.
The next time anyone opens the Applications Manager Restrictions file,

4. In the Secure Station section, check the Require checkbox on.
5. Type in a timeout range of 1 to 60 minutes.
6. Choose OK from the Network Security - Restrictions dialog box.
7. Choose File/Save from the Administration menu bar.
8. Choose File/Exit from the Administration menu bar.
7.3 System Configuration
------------------------
The Applications Manager Help menu contains three sections to assist
configuring or troubleshooting during both workstation installations and
daily operation. This extensive information on the workstation's
network, Windows, and DOS configuration may be viewed or printed.
7.3.1 To access technical information
-------------------------------------

8.0 Desktop Control Language
----------------------------
The NetTools includes a powerful scripting language called Desktop
Control Language (DCL). DCL includes hundreds of commands to assist in
launching applications, manipulating operating environments, controlling
the Windows desktop, managing .INI files, and more. DCL's online Help
contains detailed information on all commands, plus examples.
It is not necessary to understand hundreds of commands to use DCL. The
DCL Editor includes an intelligent recorder that captures mouse and
keyboard actions, translating them into high-level commands in your
scripts. Also, DCL includes example scripts to help familiarize you
with its features. You can copy and paste these examples from the DCL
online Help into the DCL Editor.
8.1 DCL Command Categories

A message box displays and the percent-completed bar fills.
9.0 Print Manager & Print Manager Editor
----------------------------------------
Print Manager lets you maintain a central database of network printers
by assigning icons and descriptive names to NetWare print queues. The
information saved in this database is accessible to all your network
users. You can control which users or network groups have access to
each printer.
Print Manager consists of two modules:
* Print Manager Editor, for network administrator use only, creates the
database of network printers.
* Print Manager allows users to access the printers in the database and
to view NetWare print queues.
Note: The NetWare print queues must exist before you can configure any
network printer with Print Manager. Use Novell's PCONSOLE utility to
create print queues.
9.1 Print Manager Editor
------------------------
Print Manager Editor creates the database of network printers for all
users to access.
In this exercise, we will install a printer using the Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet 2 printer driver. You will need the original Windows disks, a
Windows network installation directory, or updated printer driver files.
Note: You may choose another driver for this exercise if you wish.
Select one that matches the printer on the print queue you are going to
use.
Process of creating a printer database:
1. Enter printer locations.
2. Install printer drivers.
3. Add network printers.
9.1.1 To enter printer locations
--------------------------------
First we will add the locations Marketing and Sales. We will use them,
when we want to specify locations for network printers.
1. Choose File/Run from the Applications Manager menu.
2. Type WWPEDIT.EXE and choose OK.
3. Choose Locations from the Configure menu.
4. Choose Add.
5. Type Marketing and choose OK in the Edit Location dialog box.

4. Check on the Copy Drivers check box and type the location of the
Windows system directory (or shared Windows directory) in the field
below the check box. The location must be a directory on the path of
the intended users. This is important, because for each user, Windows
must be able to find the driver to print a job.
5. Choose Add. A dialog box prompting for the location of the driver
files displays. (If drivers for the HP LaserJet II is already
installed, a dialog box asks if you want to update. Choose Yes to
return to the location dialog box.)
6. Insert the requested disk or type the location of the updated
drivers and choose OK.
7. Choose OK in the Add Printer Drivers dialog box.
8. Choose OK again in the Printer Drivers dialog box.
9.1.3 To configure a network printer
------------------------------------

* The Setup button displays the Windows printer device driver
configuration window. Printer setups defined here are stored and
re-enabled whenever a user connects to this type of printer.
9.1.4 To assign an icon to a network printer
--------------------------------------------
The Icons option allows you to assign representative icons to your
network printers. Print Manager provides an assortment of icons to
represent different types of printers.
1. Choose the Icons button in the Add Network Printers dialog box.
2. Select an appropriate laser icon by scrolling the list of
available icons and choose OK.
3. Choose OK again in the Add Network Printers dialog box to save the
settings for this printer. The printer now appears in the Print Manager
Editor list.
4. Choose File/Exit to close Print Manager Editor.
9.2 Print Manager
-----------------
Now that you have configured a printer in Print Manager Editor, you can
run Print Manager to connect available printers. Print Manager provides
an intuitive graphical interface that allows users to connect to network
or personal printers, change certain printing options and access Qview
to view NetWare print queues.
9.2.1 To run print manager
--------------------------
1. Choose File/Run from the Applications Manager menu.
2. Type WWPRINT.EXE and choose OK.

You can manually connect a printer to a specific port using
Connect/Manual.
Note: Windows only supports 3 LPT ports at a time.
9.3 Using Qview
---------------
Qview, which is a Print Manager option, enables users to order, add,
delete, hold and release their own print jobs. Essentially, it brings
the queue viewing and monitoring features of Novell's PCONSOLE command
into Windows. Only designated queue operators may administer other
users' jobs. To use any of the Qview Edit menu options, first select
your print job entry in the list.
9.3.1 To view a print queue
---------------------------
1. Double-click on the Main Laser Printer/Hallway Queue icon at the
bottom of the desktop. All network print jobs sent to this printer
queue display in the list.
2. Minimize the Qview window.
9.3.2 To connect to a personal printer
--------------------------------------
Print Manager is also used to set up a personal printer attached locally
to a user's workstation. As with a network printer, the printer driver
must first be installed using Print Manager Editor.
1. Choose View/Personal Printers from the Print Manager menu bar.
2. Choose Setup/Add Personal Printer. The list of printer drivers
installed in Print Manager Editor displays.
