Installing or Upgrading NetIQ eDirectory on Windows 55
3.6.1 Installing or Updating NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 on a Windows Server
You can install eDirectory 8.8 for Windows without the Novell Client. If you install eDirectory 8.8 on
a machine already containing the Novell Client, eDirectory will use the existing Client, or update it if
it is not the latest version.
1 At the Windows server, log in as Administrator or as a user with administrative privileges.
2 To resolve tree names, make sure that SLP is correctly configured on your network and that SLP
DAs are stable.
For more information, see one of the following:
 Appendix C, “Configuring OpenSLP for eDirectory,” on page 123.
 DHCP Options for Service Location Protocol (http://www.openslp.org/doc/rfc/rfc2610.txt)
 OpenSLP Documentation (http://www.openslp.org/documentation.html)
3 If you have Autorun turned off, run setup.exe from the windows folder in the eDirectory 8.8
SP8 CD or from the downloaded file.
4 Click Install.
The installation program checks for the following components before it installs eDirectory. If a
component is missing or is an incorrect version, the installation program automatically launches
an installation for that component.
 NICI 2.7
For more information on the Novell International Cryptographic Infrastructure (NICI), see
the Novell International Cryptographic Infrastructure 2.7 Administration Guide (http://
www.novell.com/documentation/nici27x/index.html).
You might have to reboot the server after the NICI installation. If the installer displays a
message saying that you need to reboot your server before continuing, click OK to reboot.
The eDirectory installation will continue after the reboot.
 Novell Client for Windows
IMPORTANT: The Novell Client is updated automatically if you have an older version of
the Client already installed on the machine. For more information on the Client, see the
Novell Client for Windows (http://www.novell.com/documentation/lg/noclienu/
index.html) online documentation.
