NetWare: The writing's on the wall

NetWare: The writing's on the wall 08/07/2004 05:06 AM
I came across an interesting article in Network World's sister publication, InfoWorld, last month that looked at the future of NetWare (see link below). It didn't offer anything new from executives at Novell, quoting Novell CTO Alan Nugent to the effect that Novell will continue to support NetWare customers into the future. He and others have told me the same thing at various times. And, while it is an important commitment that Novell won't abandon customers the way Banyan did when it dropped the Vines networking software, it really means that Novell is not going to be improving or extending NetWare.

A number of you have sent in suggestions and links to tools, utilities and software that's either designed for NetWare, works with NetWare or is simply useful on a NetWare network. Today, I want to point to a few of these in the hopes that one or more might be of interest to you.

The bottom line is that there will be a true NetWare client for Linux (but it will be called the "Novell" client for Linux) early next year. This will be the functional equivalent of the standard "Client32" implementation for Windows desktops.

Brainstorming how you can sell NetWare
6.5 to your bosses

Brainstorming how you can sell NetWare
6.5 to your bosses 05/27/2004 04:48 AM
One of the new features of NetWare 6.5, and which is also part of Nterprise Linux Services and slated to be in Open Enterprise Server, is Virtual Office. Many of the elements of Virtual Office, such as iFolder, iPrint, eGuide and more, aren't new in themselves but the "office" metaphor as well as the user interface is new. All that makes working with these interesting and useful technologies easier for your non-techie users (and isn't that most of them?).

Last month, I told you about the "NetWare 6.5 Administrator's Guide" by Jeffrey Harris, published by Novell Press (see link below). It's a good book and one that any NetWare 6.5 administrator should have. All the feedback I've received on the book has been favorable. At the time, though, I complained about the dearth of books about NetWare. Wonder of wonders, Novell Press released a second tome in January - the "CNA Study Guide for NetWare 6" (by David James Clark IV).

A good read for NetWare 6.5 users 01/17/2004 10:56 PM
Books about NetWare have been hard to come by for a number of years now. While there's always at least one "CNE Guide" for each version of the network operating system, getting a good reference - the kind you use to look up stuff, rather than one you read through before taking a test - has been difficult. But finally, there's a guide for NetWare 6.5.

Wolfgang Schreiber has been a part of Novell's Worldwide Developer Support in Germany for many years. He's helped many a developer understand how best to tackle a programming problem using Novell technologies. But what he's really known for are the many utilities he's written (on his own time) over the years that make a NetWare network manager's - and a user's - job much easier. He's provided the "missing utilities," as they're called - the things you wish Novell had included, but didn't. You may have some of these utilities on your network and weren't aware that they were not originally supplied by Novell. Among the more popular and useful ones are:

over 4GB, more 04/09/2004 03:55 PM
Pleasanton, Calif.-based developer Prosoft Engineering has released the latest version of NetWare Client for Mac OS X, its solution for accessing a Novell network from a Mac via IP. Version 1.2.1 adds support for files larger than 4GB on servers running NetWare 6 SP3 or later, better security with NCP packet signing, directory root-mount support, Filesystem ACL support, better integration with Mac OS X kernel and improved response times thanks to background SLP resolution and less memory usage.

Mailbag: Why one reader is still using
an older NetWare version 08/19/2004 04:25 AM
Talking about upgrades, forced upgrades, old versions of network software and why we still run them is a frequent topic of this and the Windows Networking newsletter, which I also write for Network World. The three major reasons for keeping the old network operating systems from going are money, application support, and comfort level.

Australia's national welfare agency
mulls move from NetWare to OES 04/22/2004 03:48 AM
I was reading "The Australian," Australia's national newspaper, last week (well, the online version at news.com.au). It's a general purpose paper (like the "New York Times" or "The Washington Post") but one which devotes more space to IT than any other general news source I've come across. What struck me this time, though, was a report that Australia's national welfare organization, Centrelink, was considering scrapping its 400 NetWare servers in favor of a different server operating system.

Still, I can tell you about the Christmas present Novell is planning for you. In fact, it might already be unwrapped (as we went to press, the release date still wasn't set).
