Novell IntranetWare™ Support Pack v1.0 Now Available New Support Pack Makes Updates, Installation Easy for IntranetWare Resellers and Users OREM, Utah -- November 6, 1996 -- Novell, Inc. today announced the IntranetWare™ Support Pack v1.0, a comprehensive set of updates for IntranetWare that is now available free for download from Novell's World Wide Web site (http://support.novell.com). Novell will regularly release IntranetWare support packs to provide customers a convenient means of updating their IntranetWare servers. System administrators can either install the service pack directly onto individual servers, or perform the process remotely, allowing the administrator to update all of an organization's servers from a central location. In response to customer feedback, Novell has included an integrated installation program as part of the IntranetWare Support Pack v1.0 to significantly reduce administrative time and effort. Customers no longer need to manually install multiple files to update their Novell network. The IntranetWare Support Pack v1.0 bundles the most recent patches into one file that updates IntranetWare's services in one simple process. "The IntranetWare Support Pack will be an efficient tool for us," said Gene Mazurek, Novell platinum partner at Bancroft and Masters, Inc., a reseller in Redwood City, Calif. "The integrated installation program will save us valuable time. In the past we had to manually track which updates had been installed and on which servers. Novell's new support pack makes my job easier and allows me to be more efficient and proactive in my time spent with customers." Also included in the IntranetWare Support Pack v1.0 is a feature that records each update as it is installed. Each support pack will automatically check the system upon installation to determine which services need to be updated. Administrators can view IntranetWare's Currently Installed Products screen to monitor what has and has not been updated. "The IntranetWare Support Pack is part of Novell's strategy to reduce the cost and complexity of ownership for our IntranetWare customers," said Willy Donahoo, senior director of product marketing at Novell. "Novell plans to release IntranetWare support packs regularly to ensure our customers benefit from the most current updates." The IntranetWare Support Pack includes updates for the following components contained in IntranetWare:
