Some of the ConsoleOneTM snap-ins for NetWare® 6 require the NICI Client. To use those snap-ins, you must install NICI on every workstation where you will use ConsoleOne.
IMPORTANT: Two versions of NICI are provided for Windows platforms: 1.5.7 and 2.0.2. We recommend that you install both versions.
NICI 1.5.7 is implemented as a kernel driver and NICI 2.0.2 is implemented as a shared DLL. Applications using NICI 1.5.7 will not work if only NICI 2.0.2 is installed. Likewise, new applications will require at least NICI version 2.0.2. Both NICI versions can be installed on the same Windows workstations, providing support for all applications.
The Client CD that is included with NetWare 6 contains the NICI client for Microsoft Windows operating systems. NICI clients for Solaris and Linux can be found on the Novell® software download page.
To install the NICI client from the Client CD, insert the CD. An autorun application begins. Select the NICI client from the list.
