NetWare 3.x Server Required for NetWare 4.x Bindery Emulation

Article ID: Q122135

= SUMMARY =

For Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) to support any NetWare version 4.x servers on a network, a NetWare version 3.x server must be available somewhere on the network for administration purposes.

= MORE INFORMATION =

SMS only supports NetWare version 4.x servers when they are running with Bindery Emulation Mode enabled. While NetWare version 4.x does support this mode, it does not ship with utilities that allow administration of this bindery. SYSCON ships with NetWare version 3.x and is used to assign user rights on NetWare version 3.x servers. This same utility is used to administer NetWare version 4.x servers user accounts in bindery emulation mode.

The SYSCON tool is required to assign the user group Everyone, and all associated users, to the NetWare version 4.x servers bindery. This group is used by SMS to assign rights to SMS-created shares and directories on NetWare servers.
