5 Other network file and print services

This chapter discusses file and print services for NetWare and Macintosh.

File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW)

File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) is one part of the Microsoft software package called
Services for NetWare. The most common use of the NetWare network operating system is as a file
and print server. FPNW eases the addition of the storage server into a mixed infrastructure by providing
a NetWare user interface (UI) to a Windows Storage Server 2003-based server; administrators and
users see their same, familiar NetWare UI. Additionally, the same logon for clients is maintained
without a need for any client configuration changes.
This service also provides the ability to create Novell volumes, which are actually NTFS shares, from
which users can map drives and access resources. Novell Login scripts are supported on the storage
server or through an existing NDS (Novell Directory Services) account. This requires no changes or
additions to the software on the NetWare client computers.
NOTE:
FPNW is not a clusterable protocol. With FPNW on both nodes of a cluster, the shares do not fail over
because the protocol is not cluster-aware.
NOTE:
IPX/SPX protocol is required on the Novell servers.

Installing Services for NetWare

The installation of FPNW on the storage server allows for a smooth integration with existing Novell
servers. FPNW allows a Windows Storage Server 2003 based server to emulate a NetWare file and
print server to users, clients, and administrators. This emulation allows authentication from Novell
clients, the use of Novell logon scripts, the creation of Novell volumes (shares), the use of Novell file
attributes, and many other Novell features.
