= SUMMARY =

When testing applications on Novell Netware version 2.00a, you should use the following minimum configuration setups:

Minimum AUTOEXEC.BAT for Workstations
Prompt $p$ g Anet3 F: Login username Spool /nb /time=30 /nff /nt

Minimum AUTOEXEC.BAT for Nondedicated Servers
Prompt $p$ g Net$os Anet3 F: Login username Spool /nb /time=30 /nff /nt Prfix

Note: To print from a nondedicated Novell server, you must execute a Novell PRFIX.COM file after executing the SPOOL statement. These files (PRFIX.COM, PR2FIX.COM, and PR3FIX.COM) are available in an application note titled “Novell Nondedicated Server Patch.” Application notes can be obtained from Microsoft Product Support Services by calling (206) 454-2030. The files are also on the Compuserve Novell Netwire Forum under the title “PRFIX.ARC.”

Minimum CONFIG.SYS for Both Workstations and Nondedicated Servers
Files=20 Buffers=20

Note: If a LASTDRIVE statement is used, it should be set to no higher than the last physical drive letter (usually drive E). Letters beneath the LASTDRIVE are unusable as Novell logical drives (for example, if LASTDRIVE=Z, you cannot have a Novell logical drive).

Minimum Login Scripts and Effective User Rights
System, user, and default login scripts should be commented out with % (percent) signs during minimal testing. Rights issues should be avoided in the initial stages of minimal testing by having the user log in as user SUPERVISOR. SUPERVISOR has all rights to all directories by default.
