The login session at the installing workstation must meet these requirements:

You must be logged in as Admin or an Admin equivalent if the server you are installing to is a NetWare server. This will enable the installation program to extend the eDirectory schema and browse for eDirectory trees and NetWare servers.
If you are installing to a Windows 2000 server, you must be logged in as Administrator (or equivalent) in order to authenticate to the server you are installing to. For more information, see Authenticating to a Windows Server.
We recommend running the ZfD Server installation program from a Windows 2000 workstation or server.

The Novell Client must be installed on the workstation or server where you will be running ConsoleOne for administering ZfD. This is because ConsoleOne is dependent on the client's NetWare libraries.
