LANDesk(R) Workgroup Manager software distribution setup: Novell servers
HOW TO SET UP LANDESK(R) WORKGROUP MANAGER SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION ON NOVELL NETWARE* SERVERS
Component: Distribution
Question: How do we set up LANDesk(R) Workgroup Manager Software
Distribution on Novell NetWare* servers?
Answer:
Here are the steps to setup a Novell server to distribute packages:
1. Connect to the NetWare server that you want to use for distributing
packages with admin or equivalent rights.
2. Run the LANDesk Workgroup Manger Client Setup from the LANDesk
Workgroup Manager Group. Choose to Setup Novell NetWare server. Then
select a path of where you want to install the LANDesk Workgroup Manager
client files. It is assumed that the files are installed in the LANDesk
Workgroup Manager directory on the SYS volume. If you choose a
different location adjust the following examples accordingly.
3. Copy LISTPULL.INI, LISTPULL.EXE, and CTL3D.DLL from the LANDesk
Workgroup Manager consoles LDLOGON directory (normally LDWM\LDLOGON on
the NT console) to the LANDesk Workgroup Manager directory on the
NetWare server.
4. Modify the LISTPULL.INI on the NetWare server in the following way:
Change:
PackageServer=NTServerName
to:
PackagePath=\\NetWareServerName\Volume\LDWM (path to where the LANDesk
Workgroup Manager files were installed)
5. Copy the LANSD directory and all sub-directories to the NetWare
Server LANDesk Workgroup Manager directory.
(Only the .EXE files from each of the packages directory are needed,
unless you want to also copy the .USR file to specify who gets what
package.)
6. IPX client can map a drive to the LANDesk Workgroup Manager
directory on the server and run LISTPULL.EXE to see the packages. Or
you can have WKSTACFG copy the LISTPULL files to the clients local drive
by adding the SD files to the [IPX CLIENT] section of the WKSTACFG.INI
file located in the client directory on the NetWare Server. Follow the
same syntax that is there and add LISTPULL.INI, LISTPULL.EXE and
CTL3D.DLL to the end of the [IPX CLIENT] section of the WKSTACFG.INI.
Note: There is no status from the NetWare packages. However, you can
open the PACKAGE.LOG file in the LDLOG directory under the LANDesk
Workgroup Manager directory. Each time you create a new package you
need to manually copy it to the NetWare server.
