Sample Client Installation Login Script (Windows 95/98 and NT/2000 Only)

What Users See

The following sample shows the commands that you add to the login script in
order to install the client software from the network. The sample includes text
for installing across an internal network.
HINT:
In this sample, the text that is necessary to the script is represented in
uppercase letters. The information that you should customize for your network is in
lowercase letters.
REM ***** Windows 95/98 *****
IF (OS = "WIN95") OR (OS = "WIN98" AND OS_VERSION <> "V4.90")
THEN
WRITE "Updating Novell Client for Windows 95/98."
#\\server1\sys\public\client\win95\ibm_enu\acu.exe
IF "%ERROR_LEVEL" = "1" THEN
EXIT
END
END
IF OS = "WINNT" AND OS_VERSION <> "V5.01" THEN
WRITE "Updating Novell Client for Windows NT/2000."
#\\server1\sys\public\client\winnt\i386\acu.exe
IF "%ERROR_LEVEL" = "1" THEN
EXIT
END
END
At this time, you cannot use a login script to install Novell Client for Windows
XP version 4.82. This feature will be available in a future release.
NOTE:
If you are using this sample script to replace the Microsoft Client with Novell
Client for Windows95/98, some user intervention is necessary. Due to Microsoft
Client's limited scripting capabilities, users must close an open DOS box before the
workstation is rebooted and the installation is completed.
If this is a new client software installation, or if it is an upgrade from older
client software, the software is installed or upgraded when users log in and
restart the workstation. Users might see system messages as their workstations
are upgraded, depending on how you set up the installation.
