Hi Ron, All My level of Novell is not very high, However I should be able to install the Novell client. We are going to try to use Novell Remote Manager. Is there a way to get the Novell Client to the target machine for install?
The other Netware utilities seem to require "The novell client to be installed on my machine" I get messages like " Netware Client Libraries not loaded" "netwin32 not loaded" I am going to try to find VNC for NetWare, could not find that the before. Thanks Neilly, Ron wrote:
Yes. There are many ways, all free, to get to the NetWare console remotely. 1. Novell Remote Manager (aka NoRM). This is a web based management interface with a lot of capabilities, one of which is a console access capability. The service listens on port 8008/8009 by default. It is provided/loaded by the loading of httpd.nlm and portal.nlm in the autoexec.ncf file when the server boots. (BTW sorry if I am being pedantic, but I have no idea of your level of knowledge of NetWare.) So open your browser (firefox 3.0.x or ie 6/7 work best - opera also works well) to https://server.domain:8009 Login with your eDir credentials. 2. RconIP. This is a nice little app that requires that the server load rconag6.nlm. You can get rconip here: http://rconip.sourceforge.net/ 3. SSH. NetWare has an sshd.nlm that allows terminal based access from linux/unix clients, among other things. 4. Rconj.exe. This is a java based client that talks to rconag6.nlm on the server, much like rconip. But this client supports ssl whereas rconip does not. 5. VNC for NetWare. The project is hosted here http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?vncnw and there is some documentation at the cool solutions website here : http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/431.html In terms of setup and defaults - ie what is likely to exist at your remote systems and won't require you loading and configuring something at the server first (catch-22) - your best bet is NoRM. For future functionality and security though your probably best off with ssh. But the best one isn't available for free anymore. Well actually you can probably find it for download from somewhere, but then it will not be registerable and thus will subject you to a 30 minute session limit. But I'll list just for the sake of completeness and choice: 6. AdRem Free Remote Console 2006. They discontinued this in July 2008 and replaced it with LiteCon 2008 for $500 per site. I've been using this for years and so have a registered version and no time limits. It totally rocks. Sad to see it pulled.
