This chapter discusses file and print services for NetWare and Macintosh.
File and Print
Services for NetWare (FPNW)
File and Print
Services for NetWare (FPNW ) is one part of the Microsoft software package called
Services for
NetWa re. The most common use of the N etWare network op erating system is as a file and
print server
. FPNW eases the addition of the storage server into a mixed infrastructure by providing a
NetWare use
r interface (UI) to a Windows Storage Server 2003-based server; a dm inistrators and users
see their sa
me, familiar NetWare UI. Additionally, the same logon for clients is maintained without a
need for an
yclientconfiguration changes.
This servi
ce also provides the ability to create Novell volumes, which are actually NTFS shares, from
which users can map drives and a cc ess resources. N ovell Login scri pts are supported on the storage
server or through an existing NDS (Novell Directory Services) account. This requires no changes or
additions to the software on the NetWare client computers.
NOTE:
FPNW is no
t a clusterable protocol. With FPNW on both nodes of a cluster, the shares do not fail
over because the protocol is not cluster-aware.
NOTE:
IPX/SPX protocol is required on the Novell servers.
Installing Services for NetWare
The installation of FPNW on the storage server allows for a smooth integration with existing Novell
servers. FPNW allows a Windows Storage Server 2003 based server to emulate a NetWare file and
print server to users, clients, and administrators. This emulation allows authentication from Novell clients,
the use o
f Novel logon scripts, the creation of Novell volumes (shares), the use of Novell file attributes,
and man
y other Novell features.
