Changing the Context for Client 3.02 for WIN95/98

[Reynoldsj]

Currently within the tree, all the users are using an Alias account in a container(.login.company) I am removing this container and having the user login from their account. I need a way of changing the Default Contaxt from (.login.Company) to (.users.location.company) I realize that I can have NAL propregate out a registry change to the users, but I am having difficulty finding the Key to change. I am hoping someone can help me.<br>

Thanks,<br>

Manually you could do it by right click on Network Neighborhood / properties / Client 32 for netware / properties.<br>
There you can set the default context. You can record the registry change with SnApp Shot or Picturetaker etc. to propogate to other machines.

Something I did just recently was to implement ZEN works to make the changes at the client. It might be a little more work in the beginning but using ZEN works will make life easier later on.<br>
<br>
Install ZEN works on your server. You can get the Starter Pack with the latest client from Novell.<br>
<br>
Ugrade the clients to the lastest version using the Automatic Client Update feature.<br>
<br>
Setup workstation registration profiles and import all the workstations into NDS. This step takes a couple of days as the workstations first have to be registered, then imported and associated with the workstation.<br>
<br>
Use workstation profiles to automatically change the client's default context.

To give the users the ability to change their context on login, you need to right click on network neighborhood&gt;properties&gt;Novell Netware Client&gt;Properties&gt;Advanced Login tab&gt;Check off the advanced Button.<br>
This will put a drop down button on the users Netware login screen which will allow them to change the context. It also will hold the context from the last login.
