Update the version of NDS* on servers in your Directory tree whenever you receive an updated DS.NLM.
Each update of NDS fixes problems and increases functionality. When a new version of NDS is released, the new features in NDS are not available unless all servers in a partition's replica ring are running the same version of NDS.
NOTE: After performing a version update, you may notice that after the servers are updated correctly, your client workstation may not recognize they were updated for up to 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT: NDS Version Update does not support updates across operating system releases. In other words, this feature will not update a NetWare* 4.1 server's version of NDS to a NetWare 4.11 version of NDS. This feature will update NetWare 4.1 servers running an older version of NDS (such as 463) to a newer version of NDS for NetWare 4.1 (such as 489).
If a new version of the NetWare 4.11 NDS is released on NetWire, you can update your NetWare 4.11 servers with the new version.
You can update the version of NDS on a server from either the Tree View or the list of Partitions and Servers.
Select the NetWare Server object that you want to be the source for Version Update (the server that will send a copy of its DS.NLM to other servers).
Click Object > NDS Version > Update.
A dialog box will inform you if any servers in and below the current context in your Directory tree cannot be updated. They will be grayed in the list.
From the list of servers on the left, select the servers whose version of NDS you want updated and click the right arrow to move them under Target Servers to be Updated.
Click OK.
