Setting Up a NetWare Server for Push Installations

This section summarizes the procedures for running login scripts from a NetWare server for push installations.

To prepare the server for push installations on a NetWare network

1. Run Server-based Setup, and install the Windows 95 source files in the shared directory on the NetWare server, as described in Chapter 4, "Server-Based Setup for Windows 95."
2. Create an MSBATCH.INF file to meet your installation requirements, and copy this file into the directory that contains the Windows 95 source files on the network.
3. On the NetWare server, create a user account named Upgrade and specify upgrade1 as the password. Also, set the types of options for this account as described in the following list.
   • Allow User To Change Password = NO
   • Force Periodic Password Changes = NO
4. Assign the Upgrade user account to the preferred server to which users have access.
5. Create a login script and assign it to the Upgrade user. The login script must be placed in the appropriate directory on the server where users will log on. For examples of login scripts that use the Upgrade user account, see "Preparing Login Scripts for Push Installations" earlier in this chapter.
