    If you install other Novell products, additional capabilities are snapped in to ConsoleOne automatically. For example, if you install Novell eDirectory, the capability to configure the LDAP interface to eDirectory is snapped in to ConsoleOne automatically. This chapter explains what's new in this ConsoleOne release, why you should use ConsoleOne instead of legacy tools like NetWare Administrator, and how to install and start ConsoleOne.

  • Page 14: Why Use Consoleone

    Novell Client Version 4.91 SP3 or higher is recommended. 1.2 Why Use ConsoleOne? 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.
  • Page 15 Advantage Explanation Create filtered eDirectory If your tree is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later, ConsoleOne lets you replicas create filtered replicas that contain only the objects and properties needed for synchronization with specific applications like PeopleSoft*. No legacy tool has this capability. See Section 7.2, “Managing Replication,”...

    NetWare or Windows server and run it through a mapped or shared drive pointing to that server. If you install locally on a workstation, other Novell products such as Novell eDirectory might not be able to add needed snap-ins to your installation. For this reason, we recommend a server installation.
  • Page 19 TIP: If you are installing on a Windows server and you will run ConsoleOne remotely through drive sharing, don't forget to share the folder where you install ConsoleOne. Some Novell products require that this share be established before running the installation program.
