       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.
