NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

We are moving from Novell to Synology for our main "server". I need to remove our current Novell clients from our Windows 7 and 10 workstations. I have one particular workstation that won't let me uninstall the client. As this is the first Windows 7 Pro machine I have tried to do this on, I am concerned there may be more like this.
Anyway, what happens is when I go to "Add and remove programs" and uninstall, I get an error that says "There was a problem starting C:\Program Files\Novell\Clinet\ncsetu
I have gone into that location and the Novell folder is there but empty. The client version is 2 SP1 (IR9a). Is there an uninstaller I can run on these?

I'm trying to use Impersonation to delete files by connecting to an NetWare server. The code below works when I run it from C# code behind but I need to hide the password\username. I tried Impersonation, but I get denied returned.

OK, I am way out of my league here. I am working on a Novell 6 network and need to make some DHCP reservations. There is a DHCP app on one of the connected machines where the scope is setup but what we need to do is make our IP phones a different range other than our regular range that the scope is handing out. Because of that, we would like to take the MAC addresses and reserve them to a lower range to preserve the number of IPs we are able to give up.
I am familiar with Windows DHCP servers and don't see any of the usual steps to perform these tasks on the Novell app. I have the MAC addresses I need, just need to know where to make the settings.
Thanks.

We have a Novell server that is currently running 6.5. The reason we have stayed with this is a DOS Data Perfect database (16 bit) that we use exclusively. We are thinking of upgrading to something like a Synology RS3618xs.
We are currently in a project to have a company rewrite the database into a more modern language but it has become a multi-year, tens of thousands of dollar project. I am not interested in answers that tell us to upgrade the database, what we want to know is if it is feasible to run such a database on a NAS or if anyone has had experience moving from Novell to a NAS using the Synology directory services.
One of the biggest concerns is how the Synology will handle file locking with multiple users.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
we start to do a complete roll out of windows 10 with Zenworks.
Therefore we used this very nice best practices:
https://www.novell.com/communities/coolsolutions/windows-10-best-practices-using-zcm/
If you are using roaming profiles with Novell on non-Windows shares, you have to do some special settings.
For example you have to copy a default profile and move it in the user profile folder - as descripted here:
https://www.novell.com/documentation/zenworks114/zen11_cm_policies/data/bvkn1rh.html
It you don’t do this roaming profile will not work correctly.
Now to my problem.
If I logon to the computer with this default profile the Windows 10 start menu is not working - no reaction if you klick on it.
Roaming profile on multiple PCs is working fine, except of the menu.
I already tried the "default solutions" for this problem:
1. sfc /scannow
2. powershell with $manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).In
3. Copy and Paste the folder C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Lo
If I don’t follow the instruction in the link above "Assigning a Roaming Profile Policy for a User Profile ..." and let Windows create the roaming profile on the file share I don’t have a start menu problem, but I can't login to different PC -> "Group Policy Client Service failed the sign-in" Error.
Has anybody done something like …

Hello,
We are using a special pdf printer. This printer needs a custom defined page size (25.4x25.4mm).
Additional you have to set the TrueType Font to: Download as Softfont.
Now I have the task to distribute this to all users.
We are using NDS and so we have no GPO, but we have Loginscripts and Zenworks as software distribution.
My idea was to deploy a registry script for all users. Unfortunately I can’t found the right key. In these Keys I tried to set it:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers
I even tried to set it with the “Printing Defaults” of the Printer under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
I did the same in the past with Windows XP and I’m sure that it worked with the Key DevModePerUser.
Any ideas how to set the settings for all users?
Thanks
Christian

we would to increase to 150 user.
is there a place to buy access license to upgrade to 150 user

Hi
I'm running a Groupwise 6.5.7 email system on Novell Netware 6.5 Support Pack Revision 08
Everyone can work fine, login to Webmail, connect mobile device via POP3 or IMAP access except for one user.
This user can login fine using the Windows Groupwise 6.5.7 client.
When I try and login to Webmail using the same username and password it fails with "Please login again. You may have typed your name or password incorrectly. Remember that passwords are case sensitive." and the Webmail monitor displays Login failed: jdupl
If I input the incorrect password on purpose I get the same failure in the browser window but the Webmail monitor now displays "Login failed: User jdupl supplied invalid password. Login rejected: Password is incorrect. Login failed: jdupl"
So the Webmail does detect when the password is valid or not but it will not allow this user to login.
His email has also stopped synchronising using POP3 or IMAP settings on his mobile devices (Samsung Note 4 and Ipad)
I have performed a dsrepair and it shows no errors with the exception of a network error

I have a customer that pulled and old server out of the basement and wants to try and bring it back. It did not boot so I found a similar one (PATA Hard Drive) and the drive seemed to boot. The drive was on the secondary IDE channel and I remembered enough to load ISADISK at 170 INT F wasn't it? It loaded but still can't mount SYS.

Novell IDM Is there a report or way to easily compare Active Directory against eDirectory for users that have not migrated over?
I have a lot of accounts of users that have not changed their password and as a result have not synced the password. You might ask, why not just change force the passwords to change at next login? The boss doesn't want to do that and wants to get a report first and a way to track to see how many users have not changed their password? we want to aggressive reach out to them and hand hold all 14,000 accounts that will most likely need to change the password.

Hello,
we are running a Groupwise 2014 R2 SP1 Server. To restrict the mail traffic we are using class of service in the GWIA.
For example:
No external mail recipients are allowed except to company1.com.
These is working fine if the user is using a Groupwise mail client.
We also use for example Thunderbird or other mail clients to connect to the Groupwise Server (via IMAP and SMTP).
Here I found out that the restriction in my example above is not working.
Are the class of service not working if you are using an mail client that is connected via IMAP and SMTP?
Best regards,
Christian

Is this just something in using the deprecated client? It appears to be saving regardless?

PUM = Privileged User Manager
Q1:
Understand PUM is used to record access to servers by sysadmins to servers (Windows, Linux etc)
with Access, Authentication, Authorization controls. In what way is this different from TACACS
& Radius for network devices' access, authentication & authorization?
Q2:
Many switches, routers IOS or OS could not enforce complex password, password expiry, locked
after several attempts etc. Does TACACS, Radius have these features if network admins centrally
access via TACACS or Radius?
Q3:
Anyone know if PUM has Radius kind of functionalities built in?
Q4:
Can a Windows jumphost provide the functionalities of TACACS or Radius server?
Without a subscription, can't approach principal for these clarifications
