Install File and Print Services for NetWare

Use the Install File and Print Services for NetWare dialog box to specify the location of the NetWare SYS volume, set the password for the supervisor account, and tune how the server will perform.

Directory For SYS Volume

Type the directory that will contain the server’s SYS volume. The default location is C:\SYSVOL. If you choose a location that is not on an NTFS partition, then individual file and directory security will not be available for the files and directories in that volume.

Server Name

Type the server name that NetWare and compatible clients will use to access this server.

This server name can not be the same as the server’s Microsoft-style computer name. The default server name is the Microsoft-style computer name, with _FPNW appended.

Supervisor Account

To set a password for the Supervisor account, type the same password in Password and in Confirm Password.

If the server has a minimum password length, the password you set must conform to the required length.

Tuning

To configure the server’s performance, specify one of the following:

To decreases the amount of memory required to run File and Print Services for NetWare, click Minimize Memory Usage.

To balance the amount of memory the utility uses with the speed at which it will run, click Balance Between Memory Usage And Performance.

To increase the speed at which File and Print Services for NetWare runs, click Maximize Performance.

Notes

Minimize Memory Usage slows the performance of File and Print Services for NetWare. Choose this option if the server will be used mainly for activities other than sharing files and printers (such as running server applications).

Click Balance Between Memory Usage And Performance if the server will be used both for running applications (such as SQL Server) and for the network file and print services.

When you select Maximize Performance, File and Print Services for NetWare consume more memory and other system resources. Choose this option if the server will be used mainly for file and print services.


FPNW Server Configuration

To configure the server’s performance, click one of the following options:

Minimize Memory Usage

Decreases the amount of memory required to run File and Print Services for NetWare. This option slows the performance of File and Print Services for NetWare. Choose this option if the server will be used mainly for activities other than sharing files and printers (such as running server applications).

Balance Between Memory Usage And Performance

Balances the amount of memory the utility uses with the speed at which it will run. Choose this option if the server will be used both for running applications (for example SQL Server) and as a network file and print server.

Maximize Performance

Increases the speed at which File and Print Services for NetWare runs. This option causes File and Print Services for NetWare to consume more memory and other system resources. Choose this option if the server will be used mainly for lots of network activity, such as network file sharing and as a print server.


Advanced FPNW Server Configuration

Advanced FPNW Server Configuration Procedure


Internal Network Number

The internal network number is an eight-digit hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies the server’s internal network. This entry is required if you are using multiple frame types attached to a single adapter, have multiple adapters, or have multiple networks connected via routers.

You can set any hexadecimal number in the range of 1 to FFFFFFFE as the server’s internal network number, but the number you set must be different than all other network numbers on your network.


Adapter

Select the adapter for which you want to assign frame types.

For each network adapter card in the server, you can assign one or multiple frame types, or you determine the frame type automatically.

Each combination of adapter card and frame type must have a different network number.


Manual Frame Type Detection

Assigns a frame type to the selected adapter card. Then, click the arrow in Frame Type to display a list of available frame types, and then click Add.

You can attach multiple frame types to a single adapter card. If you do so, each frame type assigned to this adapter card must have a different network number assigned. This network number must match the network number used on your network for this network segment and frame type.


Frame Type

Select the frame type to assign to the selected adapter. If you are using manual frame type detection, you must assign one or more frame types to the adapter selected in Adapter.


Network Number

Type an eight-digit hexadecimal number to assign as the network number for the selected frame type and adapter.

If you are using manual frame type detection, you must assign a network number to each combination of adapter card and frame type. The network number must match the network number used on your network for this network segment and frame type.


Add

Adds the frame type and network number to the configuration of the specified adapter card.


Remove

Removes the frame type and corresponding network number from the specified adapter card.


Auto Frame Type Detection

Click this to have File and Print Services for NetWare automatically configure the frame type. You should click this option only if all the following situations are true:

You use only one frame type on your network.

Network numbers are clearly assigned and remain constant.

You do not have a situation where different network segments never communicate with each other (such as one segment using Ethernet 802.2 and another using 802.3).

What is File and Print Services for NetWare?

File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) is a Windows NT Server utility that makes the server look like a NetWare 3.12 server to NetWare clients. NetWare clients can access volumes and printers on the server with no changes to their client software.


File and Print Services for NetWare Commands

File and Print Services for NetWare includes some commonly used NetWare utilities that NetWare clients can use to access the server.

Click the following for more information about the commands:

attach

capture

chgpass

endcap

login

logout

map

setpass

slist


Attach

Use attach to log in to another File and Print Services for NetWare server or NetWare server while remaining logged in to the current server. If you do not specify the server name and user name in the command, you will be prompted to enter these names. If a password is required, you will be prompted to enter it.

You must be logged in to a server before you can use attach to log in to additional servers. Although attach connects you to a server, it does not create a drive mapping to that server. However, if you create a drive mapping later to that server, you do not need to supply your password.

Syntax:	attach [server[/name]]

Where:	server is the name of the file server to which you want to attach.

name is the user name you want to use on that server.


Capture

Use capture to connect to File and Print Services for NetWare or NetWare print queues and printers, redirect a print job to another print queue, or print from an application without exiting the application.

Syntax:	capture [option]

Where:	option is one of the following options:

autoendcap	Lets you send a job to a network printer or to a network file when you exit or enter an application. Use autoendcap if you want to save several different screens or files from the same application to the same network file. In spite of what its name implies, autoendcap does not automatically end the capture of an LPT port. The default is enabled.
banner = name	Specifies the text that appears on the lower part of a banner page. Replace name with any word or phrase up to 12 characters. The default is your user name and the print job file name.
copies = n	Specifies how many copies you want to print. Replace n with a number from 1 to 999. The default is 1.
create = path	Creates the file in which you want to store the data. If you want to save the file in your default or current directory, replace path with the name of the file you want to create. You must use a network drive with the create option to specify where you want to store the file (server, directory, volume, and file name).
form= form or n	Specifies the form on which to print the job Replace form with the name of the form, or replace n with the number of the form.
formfeed	Enables the form feed after your print job has been printed. When formfeed is enabled, the printer prints the next job at the top of the next sheet of paper. However, if an application automatically enables form feed, using this option will cause an extra blank page to be fed through the printer. The default is enabled.
keep	Keeps all data at the server if your workstation freezes or loses power while you are transferring data to the server. If your workstation does freeze or stop (that is, loses its connection to the server), the server will also send the data it received from your workstation to a print queue for printing. If you plan to capture data over several hours, use this option. If you do not include the keep option and your workstation stops during the capture, the server discards the data it has received.
local = n	Specifies which LPT: (local printing port) to capture. Replace n with 1, 2, or 3. The default is LPT1.
name = name	Specifies the text that appears on the upper part of the banner page. Replace name with any word or phrase up to 12 characters. The default is your user name.
noautoendcap	Prevents data from being sent to a network printer or a file when you enter or exit an application. The default is disabled.
nobanner	Specifies that no banner page should be printed.
Noformfeed	Disables form feed at the printer. The default is disabled.
nonotify	When set, you are not sent a notification that your job has printed. You need to use this option only if notify is enabled in your print job configuration and you want to disable it. The default is enabled.
notabs	Ensures that all the tab characters in your print job arrive at the printer unchanged. Use this option if your application can format the print job, or if you have problems printing graphics.
notify	Notifies you when your job has been printed. This option does not notify you if the printer has a problem or if your job cannot be printed. The default is disabled.
queue = queue	Specifies which queue the print job should be sent to. If multiple queues are mapped to a printer, you must include this option to select a queue. Replace queue with the name of a queue. The default is the queue that spooler 0 has been assigned to.
server = server	Specifies which server the print job should be sent to. The default is your default server.
show	Displays the current status of LPT ports: whether they are captured; whether they are set to send data to a network printer or to a file; or how capture options are set. Using the show option does not affect the capture of an LPT port. You cannot use show with other capture options.
tabs = n	Use this option if your application cannot format the print job. Replace n with a number from 0 to 18. The number of spaces you specify indicates the number of characters in one tab stop. The default is 8.
timeout = n	The timeout option sends data to the printer a specified number of seconds after the application last writes to a file. It allows you to print from an application without exiting the application. Replace n with a number from 1 to 1,000. If the timeout is not set long enough, you may have problems printing some files, especially files with graphics. Increase the timeout if only parts of files are being printed or if the files do not print at all. The default is 0 (disabled).


Chgpass

Use chgpass to change both the password you use when logging on from a NetWare client computer and the password you use when logging on from a Microsoft client computer. This utility works only when the following situations are true:

The primary domain controller of the domain where the user’s account is located is running both File and Print Services for NetWare and Gateway Service for NetWare.

The user’s computer can access that primary domain controller over the IPX/SPX protocol.

Syntax:	chgpass [server] [/username]

Where:	server is the name of the server on which you want to set or change your password.

/username is the name of the user whose password you want to set or change.


Endcap

Use endcap to end the capture of one or more of your workstation LPT ports. You can also use endcap to send data to a local network printer or a file. You always use capture before using endcap. If you do not specify an option, endcap ends the capture of LPT1.

Syntax:	endcap [option]

Where:	option is one of the following options:

all	Ends the capture of all LPT ports with one endcap command.
Cancel	Ends the capture of LPT1 and discards any data without printing it.
Cancelall	Ends the capture of all LPT ports and discards any data without printing it.
cancellocal = n`	Ends the capture of the specified LPT port and discards any data without printing it. Replace n with 1, 2, or 3.
local = n	Ends the capture of the specified LPT port. Replace n with 1, 2, or 3.


Login

Use login to start your login script and gain access to resources at the specified server. A user’s access to a server’s resources is always limited by the user’s rights on that server. Whenever you type a login command, you not only log in to the specified server, but you also automatically log out of any servers to which you were attached before you typed login. If your password has expired, login will prompt you to change your password before logging out. The system login script is stored in the SYSVOL\PUBLIC\NET$LOG.DAT file.

Syntax:	login [server[/name]] [/clearscreen] [/noattach] [/script path]

Where:

server is the name of the server you want to log on to.

name is the user name you want to login with.

/clearscreen clears the workstation screen as soon as you enter your password.

/noattach starts the login script you specify in the script option without logging out of your current server or attaching to a new server.

/script overrides the system and personal login scripts with the login script you specify as path. The path must be the complete path specification.


Logout

Use logout to log out from the server to which you are attached, or to log out from all servers to which you are currently attached. When you log out of a server, you terminate your access to that server. When you log out from a server, all of your temporary drive mappings to that server go away. If you want to still use the network, be sure that one of your remaining drive mappings is mapped to the PUBLIC directory of a server you are still attached to. If it is not, you lose access to all the NetWare utilities contained in the PUBLIC directory, and you must reattach or log in again and set your search mapping to the PUBLIC directory.

Syntax:	logout [server]

Where:	server is the name of the server that you want to log out of. If you do not specify a server, you are logged out from all servers.


Map

Use map to view current drive mappings, create or change network drive mappings, create or change search drive mappings, map a drive to a fake root directory, and map the next available drive.

Drive mappings are temporary, and are deleted when you log out or turn off your workstation. Drives mapped to fake root directories are also deleted. You can save drive mappings, including fake root mappings in your login script if you want them to be used each time you log in. If you map a local drive to a network directory path, you will be prompted to assign the drive letter to a network drive.

Syntax:

View current drive mappings:

map [drive:]

Create or change network drive mappings:

map path

map drive: = [drive: | path]

map [option] drive:

Create or change search drive mappings:

map [option] drive: = [drive:path]

Map a drive to a fake root directory:

map [root] drive:= [drive: | path]

Where:	drive is the drive letter or search mapping to be mapped to the directory you want to work with.

path is the directory path you want to work with.
