In addition to the requirements described in Section 2.0, Planning the Installation, ensure that your system meets the requirements in this section.
To update Dynamic File Services software, you need Administrator user privileges on the computer that is being updated.
In an Active Directory environment, you also need to be a domain user with Domain Admin rights. This allows the installation to set up the following domain groups and user:
Dynamic File Services group
Dynamic File Services Retention Review group
Dynamic File Services Storage Rights group
NDFS-servername user
Before you begin an upgrade, stop the Novell Dynamic File Service and exit the Service Controller. A computer restart is required after the upgrade is complete. During the service outage, users cannot access the merged file tree view of their files.
For information about stopping the Service, see Prerequisites for Stopping or Restarting the Service
in the Dynamic File Services 2.2 Administration Guide.
