You can view and modify information about NetWare servers, volumes, files, and folders. For volumes, files, and folders, this information includes attributes, owners, and time of last modification or backup. You can also launch NetWare Management Portal from a server object in your eDirectory tree.
HINT:Attributes control how files and folders are handled during processes like compression, backup, and migration. They also control access to specific files and folders, overriding individual trustee (rights) assignments.
For volumes, you can also view current usage statistics and information about which file system features are enabled and disabled. For servers, you can view the current status, NetWare version number, and network address. You can also assign console operators and record information about the resources, services, and users supported by the server.
For this to work, the target NetWare server must be running the NetWare Management Portal software for NetWare 5, and NetWare Remote Manager for NetWare 6 (portal.nlm). This software loads by default in NetWare 5.1 and 6. You must also have a Web browser installed on your ConsoleOne workstation.
