Prerequisites and Pre-registration Notes

Use the following list to check for prerequisites and pre-registration notes:

• Before running the CA SRM Computer Registration Wizard, ensure that the NetWare Client or the Novell IntranetWare client is installed on your computer. You can download the NetWare Client from Novell from the following web site:

  http://download.novell.com

• The SLP protocol must be enabled on all NetWare servers.
• NetWare 4 and NetWare 5 use the NDS security scheme. NetWare 3 does not have NDS security, so it uses bindery emulation.
• You can access NetWare 3 servers only if Windows Explorer already maps them.
• You must have a connection to the NDS server to access NetWare objects.
• You must have the SNMP daemon service. If you do not have it, CA SRM cannot automatically discover NetWare computers.
• When an entry of the NetWare machine is present in the host's file on the Windows Client machine, the registration wizard discovers the NetWare machine by its machine name. If the entry in the host's file is missing, you need to specify the NetWare machine's IP address because the registration wizard cannot discover the machine by its name.
