No

NetWare CIFS

Because its home directory is on the virtualized NetWare server, this user has automatic CIFS/SMB access to the directory (assuming the configuration steps in Section 7.2, Enabling NFAP Services on the LAB_NW Server are completed.)

Yes

11.9.2 Using NetWare CIFS File Services

  1. Log in to the Windows workstation as the nw_edir user.

  2. When the iFolder wizard launches, click Cancel.

  3. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer and click Tools > Map Network Drive.

  4. Click the Drive drop-down list and select an unused drive letter.

  5. In the Folder field, type the following:

    \\IP_or_DNS\home_nw

    where IP_or_DNS is the IP address or full DNS name of the LAB_NW server.

    HINT:After doing so many exercises involving the OES 11 SP2 Getting-started Lab server, it is easy to use the wrong IP address or DNS name. Make sure you are accessing your virtualized NetWare server.

  6. Click Finish.

    The system maps the drive and opens at the root of the HOME_NW volume.

  7. Navigate to the Shared Documents folder, then drag and copy the four files to the nw_edir folder.

  8. Continue with the next section, Macintosh Exercises and Novell AFP.
