This Quick Start provides basic information for setting up a new server to run products in the Novell Small Business Suite, including OES NetWare®, GroupWise® 6.5 with SP4, BorderManager® 3.8, and ZENworks® 6.5 Desktop Management.
This new server can be the first server in your network that you set up, or you can install it into an existing network. If you are upgrading the operating system or any of the other products in the suite from a previous version of Novell Small Business Suite, see "Upgrading the Server and Other Products in the Suite" in the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide.
For complete instructions and known and interoperability issues, see the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide and "Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Readme""Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Readme".
You can set up a basic server for file, print, and collaboration fairly quickly on basic hardware. To set up a server that includes the full functionality provided by the suite requires additional planning and setup. For details, see "Planning Your Deployment" in the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide.
Meet the system requirements for the products you want to deploy. To install all products included in the suite on a single server, make sure the server meets the following recommended requirements.
NOTE: DirXML® Starter Pack and Novell® Cluster ServicesTM require more than one server.
Depending on the network configuration, you might need the following:
For details, see the Small Business Server Configuration Worksheet and "Setting Up Internet Connectivity" in the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide.
If installing into an existing network, prepare the network for the new server by running Novell Deployment Manager.
On a Windows* NT*/2000 or Windows XP Professional Edition workstation that has the latest Novell client installed on it, log in to your existing tree as a user with the Supervisor right to the tree.
Insert the Novell Small Business Suite Operating System CD and run Novell Deployment Manager (nwdeploy.exe) located at the root of the CD.
Complete all the relevant tasks in the Network Preparation section.
Install computer and networking hardware.
Insert the Novell Small Business Suite Operating System CD into the computer and boot the computer.
Select the operating system settings and configuration options.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you reboot the server before starting the Small Business Setup configurations in iManager.
Install the Novell ClientTM software.
For setup and configuration information, see the Novell Client online documentation.
Access iManager at the workstation by opening a Web browser and entering either the IP address or DNS name of the server, followed by /nps/iManager.html. For example:
http://172.16.135.150/nps/iManager.html
or
http://myserver.mycompany.com/nps/iManager.html
Set up access to ConsoleOne® from a workstation by mapping a drive letter to the Small Business server and run consoleone.exe stored in the volume:\public\mgmt\consoleone\1.2\bin directory.
Use the tasks in the Small Business Setup role in iManager to quickly configure the following:
Using these tasks lets you get your network set up quickly and gives you the flexibility to perform more advanced configurations with the additional utilities provided in NetWare and GroupWise. For details, see the online help for each task and the applicable section of "Installing Novell Small Business Suite Components" in the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide.
If you installed the Novell Small Business Collaboration Server with Virtual Office, access the Virtual Office Web page from a browser to complete the final steps for setting up Virtual Office. To access it, open a browser and enter http://server_ip_address or DNS_name in the Address field.
Workstations can connect to the server using Novell Client software, Novell Native File Access Protocols, or remotely from the Internet using Virtual Private Networking.
For more information, see the Novell Client online documentation.
For more information about the Novell Native File Access Protocols, see the OES Native File Access Protocols Guide.
For more information about the Virtual Private Networking, see "Virtual Private Networks Client" in the Novell BorderManager 3.8 Installation and Administration Guide.
We have provided an integrated method and the traditional method for installing GroupWise to the server. For the integrated method, select one of the Novell Small Business Collaboration Server options or select the required components in the Customized NetWare Server option. After the server installation is complete, access Novell iManager. Click Novell Small Business Setup Role > Setup GroupWise and Messenger, then follow the on screen prompts.
For complete instructions, see the Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 Overview and Installation Guide.
The integrated method can only be used for new installations. If you need to update GroupWise from a previous installation, you must use the traditional method and instructions provided in the Update section of the GroupWise 6.5 Installation Guide.
Novell BorderManager 3.8 includes a premier firewall, VPN, and proxy caching technologies that safeguard your network and help you build a secure identity management solution.

Documentation for installing the DirXML Starter Pack software is located in the DirXML StarterPack online documentation. This documentation set includes the following guides:
You can use either guide. The instructions in the Lab Guide for Novell Nterprise Linux Services are more recent and contain more generic examples that might help you with your deployment.
Both guides reference procedures for activation; however, the DirXML software included with Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 (on ZENworks 6.5 Companion CD 2) contains the credentials for activation and does not require you to perform these steps. You need to perform activation steps only when you purchase additional evaluation drivers.
