Setting Up Administration Utilities

After installing client software on your workstation, set up the following administration utilities so that you can create and manage NDS objects in your Novell Directory tree:

NetWare Administrator---a graphical utility that lets you create and manage NDS objects, set up printing and licensing services, and assign rights to the file system.

NETADMIN---the DOS-based version of NetWare Administrator; NETADMIN lacks some of the functionality and enhancements that exist in NetWare Administrator.

To set up and run NETADMIN, or any DOS-based utility, map a search drive to SYS:PUBLIC and type the utility name at the DOS command line.

NDS Manager---a graphical utility that lets you create and manage NDS partitions and replicas, perform diagnostics on your Directory tree, repair NDS synchronization errors, and update the version of NDS on NetWare servers in your network.
For information on setting up and using NDS Manager, see Setting Up NDS Manager
