Is everyone else finding ConsoleOne to be painfully slow? I am running it from a Win98 workstation with PII 300 workstation with 320MB RAM and it seems to take forever to move around! I am using IManage for some other things, and NWAdmin as well, both work great and very quickly. If Novell wants us all to move to ConsoleOne, there better be a quicker version coming down the line!!!!

What version you running?
1.3.3 is the latest.
Are you running from the server? If so copy the console1 directory locally and run it. 1.3.3 works fine for me on w2k running localy.
Also, if you aren't on nw6 check you have got the latest jave version. This speeds c1 up. Lee Smith

Hi
Yes Console one is deathly slow and guess what...Novell is moving away from Console one and going to web based management. I believe Novell has losts its focus on good management tools... NWadmin was great, it had some snapin issues but it was no worse than any other of their attempts at a management tool.
Just make sure you have consoleone installed on your local harddrive and have the latest console one installed. I have both the latest NWadmin and consoleone loaded on my local hd to help speed it up.
I have two versions of NWadmin installed on my local hd, one has snapins for Zenworks, and the other is just to manage my bordermanager servers. NWadmin with Zenwork snapins take forever to load but without those snapins it just rocks!!
I tend to favour NWadmin which is going to be extinct soon...so you have to do what you have to do to use Novells latest tools...
have fun...

I agree, their management tools are not that great. NWAdmin is quick, and easy to use, but with NW6 there are things that can only be accomplished using ConsoleOne. The web manager (Imanage) is pretty nifty to look at but is very limited, especially for user management. Three programs pretty much necessary to manage NW6.
Hi
I remember when Novell was bragging that you needed ONLY NWadmin to do ALL your network support. They ran M$ tools into the ground because of all the different tools needed to do the support. Now Novell with all its has been tools to me is a joke, seems M$ may have the last laugh.....
