Overview of Windows 98 on NetWare Networks

With Windows 98, you can use the built-in features and commands to perform most common network operation and administration tasks on NetWare networks. The following networking features are available in Windows 98 to support computers running on NetWare networks:

• Automatic setup and customization of Windows 98 on NetWare workstations, as described in Chapter 3, "Custom Installations," and Chapter 4, "Automated Installations."
• System policies to enforce desktop and system settings for individual or multiple computers, as described in Chapter 8, "System Policies."
• Integration of network resources in Network Neighborhood, and common controls, such as the Open or Save As dialog boxes, as described in Chapter 18, "Logon, Browsing, and Resource Sharing."
• Password caching for network connections and user-level security with pass-through validation to NetWare servers, as described in Chapter 9, "Security."
• Printing to NetWare print queues using Point and Print. For information, see Chapter 11, "Printing, Imaging, and Fonts." You can use several different NetWare clients, and different features are available depending on the client you choose.

Additionally, the Windows 98 Resource Kit includes an agent for simple network management protocol (SNMP), as described in Chapter 23, "System and Remote Administration Tools."
