1.0 Overview of the Novell Client 2 for Windows Vista/2008

The Novell® Client™ 2 for Windows Vista/2008 provides Windows connectivity to NetWare® and OES Linux* servers.. With the Novell Client, you can browse through authorized Novell directories, transfer files, and use advanced Novell services directly from a Windows Vista workstation or a Windows 2008 server.

After it is installed on workstations, the Novell Client lets users enjoy the full range of Novell services, including authentication via Novell eDirectory™, network browsing and service resolution, and secure and reliable file system access. All services are delivered through industry-standard protocols. The Client also supports the Novell traditional NCP™ protocol.

The Novell Client for Windows Vista/2008 is a separate release from the current Novell Client 4.91 for Windows XP/2003. The Novell Client for Windows Vista/2008 supports both the x86 and x64 versions of Windows Vista and has many of the same features as the Novell Client 4.91 for Windows 2000/XP. A separate iPrint Client that can be installed as a standalone item and used for printing is also available from Novell.
