assistant: *** Quoting Johan Driesmans to Rich Wonneberger dated 10-11-97 ***
They are the same.  If I set the Windows login to NETWARE, it log's into the
NT server fine, but doesnt run the NT login script.  If I set the login to
WINDOWS, when the script tries to map a Novell drive it ask's for the user
name & password.  Also, what I notice, if mapping to a second Novell server
it ask's for the name and password again.  In this case the user name and
password were all the same.
I was thinking there might be a couple of variables to use with the map
command, or the login command s/a
login %username% %userpassword%
Thanks anyway

No, as far as I know there is no support for those devices in SBackup or any
other Server Backup software for netware.
You should use a SCSI device such as a DAT, or backup from a workstation,
which won't be the same..

You probably need to copy the print job configuration file to each users

If I remember correctly, it's called PRINTCON.DAT. (No 3.x servers lesft to
check, sorry.)  It may be in SYS:\PUBLIC, and it will certainly be in the
working users' mail directories.
You could also execute SMODE 5 CAPTURE.EXE in the SYS:\PUBLIC directory to
make Capture search the path for the file instead.

Hi Pierre,
1) If you are using a NT4 server you have to install the DLC-protocol and
the remote boot service on the server.
2) If you are using a NW3.x server you may have to use either RCONSOLE or
FCONSOLE to remote boot you server.
3) If you are using a NW4.x server you may have to use RCONSOLE only, cause
FCONSOLE is NOT available in NW4.x

Luis,  (And to everyone else that helped me)
Recap:  IPX Routing Issue.  I couldn't get my two networks to see each other
past the netware servers that housed the WAN cards.
The problem here basically was the fact that I was just hired to do some work
here at this place and didn't set it up myself, had no manuals, etc., etc.
o
what I didn't do was look hard enough for the problem (grin).  The problem
as
both the networks (the network in BH and the network in Azusa) were both
etup
with the *SAME* IPX External Network number.   As soon as I saw that, slapped
myself, changed it, and PRESTO!  Everything works.  And I can see both
workgroups (BH and AZUSA) from all my 95 stations now.  This rocks, its like
a real network now :)
Thanks a lot for the help!  It got my looking in the right directions.

assistant: * Original Area: WIN95
* Original To  : Anyone (1:141/757)
   Is there any way to prevent Win95 users from moving directories? I have
had on several occasions users on Novell networks click on a directory folder
and move it where other users couldn't find it. I don't care if they want to
move individual files or groups of files, the directories have got to stay
put! :-)
   While there have been several 'solutions' offered, mostly flagging the
directories and contents UNmovable/UNdeletable, this doesn't address the
issue directly. What happens when these flags are toggled is the directory
and contents seem to stay put because they cannot be deleted, which is good,
but the user ends up copying what can be gigs of files to somewhere else. On
a drive with no additional room available this can bring about a 'drive full'
problem in a hurry.
   Is there a way to 'cripple' Win95's ability to move directories?
   Suggestions and solutions are most welcome. Thanx!
