Understanding Client Tools

Starting NetWare User Tools for DOS (NETUSER)

The NetWare User Tools for DOS are found in the NETUSER utility. This

utility is available only in NetWare 4 packages. It is not included in the

NetWare Client Kit or other versions of NetWare.

Because NETUSER is a NetWare 4 utility, you need to already have a

connection to the network and be logged in to a NetWare 4 network. The

utility ﬁles are found in the SYS:PUBLIC directory.

For more information, see Chapter 7, “Logging In from a NetWare Client

Workstation.”.

Prerequisites

Before you can start NETUSER, your client workstation requires the

following:

• A physical connection to the network

• DR DOS

, Novell DOS

, PC-DOS, or MS-DOS* loaded and running

• Client software installed or upgraded

• Complete the procedures in Chapter 5, “Installing or Upgrading NetWare Client

Software.”

• An authenticated connection to the network

• For more information, see Chapter 7, “Logging In from a NetWare Client

Workstation.”

Procedure

1 Map the next network drive to SYS:PUBLIC by typing

MAP N SYS:PUBLIC <Enter>

NOTE: This mapping might already be set up as a search drive in a login script for your client

workstation. Use the MAP utility to view a list of existing drive mappings. If a drive

mapping already exists for the SYS:PUBLIC directory, then proceed to Step 2.

2 Change to the network drive that is mapped to the PUBLIC subdirectory.
