MORE INFORMATION
To use group policies on a Novell NetWare network running NDS with the
Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks using MSNDS, use the following
steps:
- Enable user profiles on the Windows 95-based computer. To do so, follow
these steps:
a. In Control Panel, double-click Passwords.
b. Click the User Profiles tab.
c. Click the "Users can customize their preferences and desktop settings.
Windows switches to your personal settings whenever you log in" option
to select it.
Install group policies on the Windows 95-based computer. To do so,
follow these steps:
a. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs, and then click Have
Disk on the Windows Setup tab.
b. Type the path to the Poledit folder in the Copy Manufacturer's Files
From box, and then click OK. The Poledit folder is located in the
Admin\Apptools folder on the Windows 95 CD-ROM. The path should look
like this
<drive>:\Admin\Apptools\Poledit
where <drive> is the drive letter assigned to your CD-ROM drive.
c. Click Group Policies in the Have Disk dialog box, and then click OK.
- Create the policy file and place it on the server. For information
about the creation and setup of user profiles and policies, see Chapter
15, "User Profiles and System Policies," in the Microsoft Windows 95
Resource Kit.
- Double-click the Network Neighborhood icon, and then double-click
Entire Network.
- Use the right mouse button to click your NDS tree, and then click
Properties.
- Click Enable System Policies on the NDS Administration Settings tab,
and then set the Volume and File Path for the .pol file you placed on
the server in step 3.
NOTE: You must be logged in with supervisor rights to view the
Administration tab. Also, you need to have trustee rights to the
volume and have supervisor privileges on the volume.
- In Control Panel, double-click Network, and then verify that the
Primary Network Logon setting is set to Client For NetWare Networks.
- Click Client For NetWare Networks, and then click Properties. Verify
that the preferred server is set to the server containing the group
objects, and then click OK.
- The Novell NDS must have Bindery Emulation set for every server
container that contains the users and groups. For information about
how to set Bindery Emulation, refer to your Novell documentation.
