Novell is committed to ConsoleOne as a single management tool and is
working hard to improve its capabilities and performance so you won't need
legacy tools like NetWare Administrator. Following are some of the
advantages of ConsoleOne over legacy tools. A few limitations are also listed
after the advantages.
Enhancement
If a tree is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later and is
configured for DNS federation, you can access
contexts in that tree whether or not you are logged in
to it. This enables you to make rights and
membership assignments across trees.
You can now create rights assignments and volume
space restrictions for new users through a template.
You can now extend individual eDirectory objects
with the properties defined in auxiliary classes.
Previously, only applications could do this.
You can now modify the properties of multiple files,
folders, or volumes simultaneously. You can also
launch NetWare Management Portal from the server
object.
You can now customize the property pages for each
type of object by reordering, hiding, or showing
individual pages. Your customizations are saved
across ConsoleOne sessions.
You can now install and run ConsoleOne on Linux*,
Solaris*, and Tru64* computers in addition to
Windows and NetWare.
