NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
NOTE: If both PREFERRED TREE (for NetWare Directory Services) and PREFERRED
SERVER (for bindery services) are specified, then the first protocol to successfully
build an attachment is used.
PREFERRED TREE=“tree_name”
Sets the Directory tree you first want to connect to in a NetWare 4 network if
you have multiple trees.
If the tree specified has a server with a free connection, the NetWare DOS
Requester attaches to that tree. Otherwise, it attaches to the nearest tree that
contains a User object for the user authenticating to the network server.
Syntax preferred server=“server_name”
Default None
Modules BIND.VLM
Example To specify the MKT_9 server as your preferred server
connection, thereby speeding up log in to bindery services,
you would place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:
netware dos requester
preferred server=mkt_9
Syntax preferred tree=“tree_name”
Default None
Modules NDS.VLM
Example To specify the MARKETING tree as your preferred tree
connection, thereby speeding up log in to NetWare Directory
Services, you would place the following lines in your
NET.CFG file:
netware dos requester
preferred tree=“marketing”
