Novell Client for Windows
You can upgrade a Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0 workstation with
Novell Client software to Windows 2000 without uninstalling the client
software.
NOTE:
IPX Compatibility and Novell NetWare/IP Adapter will not be upgraded
from Windows NT to Windows 2000.
Some Windows NT 4.0 printer drivers are incompatible with Windows 2000 and will
not install. Contact Microsoft for more information.
Windows 95/98 to Windows 2000: Installs Novell Client version 4.51 from
the Windows 2000 CD.
Windows NT to Windows 2000: Detects the version of Novell Client
software installed and does one of the following:

After the migration to Windows 2000 is complete, Novell Client will reinstall
the previously installed components and restore the previously selected
protocols.
IMPORTANT:
In order to complete the reinstallation of the components and
protocols, the user who logs in to the workstation after the migration must have
Administrator rights.
