- 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
- -------------------------------------

- 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.
-

- 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

-
- 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.
-

-
- 9.1.2 To install a printer driver
- ---------------------------------
- 1. Choose Configure/Drivers from the Print Manager Editor menu bar.
-
- 2. Choose Add.
-
- A list of printer drivers supplied by Windows appears.
-
- 3. Choose the HP LaserJet II.
-
- 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.
-
