Interoperability with NetWare

You can use Client Service for NetWare to access resources on a NetWare server. You can also access bindery-based NetWare utilities, such as System Console (Syscon), Remote Console (Rconsole), and Printer Console (Pconsole). In a NetWare bindery-based server environment, use Syscon, the primary administration tool, to set up user accounts, define policies, and grant user access permissions to the NetWare network.

Note

Although Client Service supports connections to NDS servers, you cannot use Virtual Loadable Module (VLM) utilities or other utilities specific to NDS. To access these utilities you need to install Novell Client for Windows 2000.

Many Windows 2000 commands can be used to perform functions on a NetWare server by using Windows 2000. Table 24.5 lists some commonly used NetWare utilities and their Windows 2000 equivalents.

Additionally, you can use the Printers folder to connect to and manipulate a NetWare printer.

Caution

The NetWare Attach , Capture , Login , and Logout utilities are not supported in Windows 2000 and can cause errors when run on a computer running Windows 2000.

For more information about NetWare utility support in Windows 2000, see Windows 2000 Professional Help.

For information about NetWare administration utilities, see your NetWare documentation.
