The Automatic Client Upgrade (ACU) is a process designed to upgrade all of your workstations currently using a VLMTM, NETX, or 32-bit client. To run Automatic Client Upgrade, you need to add commands to the system, container, or personal login script for the users you want to upgrade.
The ACU process varies depending on the way users log in to the network and which installation program is used (DOS install.exe or Windows* setup.exe).
NOTE: If you previously installed the client using the Windows 3.1x installation (setup.exe) and you are using multiple locations profiles, you should update the client using the Windows installation. The DOS installation does not support Novell Dial-up Services or locations and it disables previously installed versions of the Locations Manager.
See the following table to select which ACU process works best for your users.
|
DOS Installation (install.exe) | Windows Installation (setup.exe) |
|---|---|---|
DOS Login |

Windows Login |
Not Recommended |
To upgrade specific users' workstations, modify those users' login scripts. Use NetWare® Administrator or any text editor.
To upgrade workstations for users in a container, modify that container's login script. Use NetWare Administrator or NETADMIN. To upgrade workstations for users in a profile, modify that profile login script. Use NetWare Administrator or NETADMIN.
To upgrade a workstation running bindery-based client software, edit the system login script (public\net$log.dat).
HINT: Once users have upgraded the client, you can remove the ACU information from the login scripts.
