Novell Documentation: NetWare Server Consolidation 4.0 - Meet System and Software Requirements

Meet System and Software Requirements

The Server Consolidation Utility runs on a Windows* workstation on the network. This workstation must meet the requirements outlined in this section.

Workstation Requirements

Windows 2000 (with Service Pack 3 or later) or Windows XP* Professional Edition
The Server Consolidation Utility does not work with Windows XP Home Edition, Windows NT*, or Windows 95/98.

NOTE: If you have have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, you will see an error stating that the Server Consolidation Utility software has not been digitally signed when you run the installation program. You can safely ignore this message and continue installing the utility.
50 MB of available disk space
Novell Client^TM for Windows 2000/XP version 4.91 or later
To check the Novell Client version, right-click the N icon on the workstation toolbar, then click Novell Client Properties > Client. To download the latest client, see the Novell Downloads page.
(Conditional) IPX^TM protocol support
If you are copying data from NetWare 4 servers, you must configure the Novell Client software to support IPX. See the Novell Client Readme for more information.
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8
If MDAC 2.8 is not installed on your workstation, it can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center.
For NetWare projects, you must be logged in as a user with the Supervisor right to the source and destination servers.
Use ConsoleOne^® to verify that you have the necessary rights to access all source and destination servers.
For Windows projects, you must be logged in as a user with administrative rights to the domain containing the source server and workstation.
You need the Write/Modify permission to the domain and the Registry of the Primary Domain Controller (PDC).

You also need the Read permission to all folders and files you are copying.

HINT: For Windows consolidation projects, you can run the Server Consolidation Utility on the Windows server itself. This is the preferred method, especially if you have data that uses extended ASCII (multinational characters) or double-byte character sets (Japanese, Korean, and other oriental languages).

If you have extended ASCII or double-byte character set data on a Windows source server and you plan to run the Server Consolidation Utility on a separate Windows workstation, the workstation must have Windows installed with the same language as the server. You must also enable UTF-8 support in the Novell Client.
