Administrator Console Requirements


Installation Preparation

To install BrightWorks, you must:

•	Be logged in to the network as a SUPERVISOR or equivalent

•	Run Windows 3.1X in enhanced mode

•	Have the following line in the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file:

network=*vnetbios, vnetware.386, vipx.386

The following file versions are recommended for BrightWorks:

•	IPX version 3.10

•	NETX version 3.26 or greater

•	Windows version 3.1X in enhanced mode

•	VIPX version 1.13

•	NETWARE.DRV version 2.02 or greater

•	VNETWARE.386 version 1.06 or greater

NOTE: If you are using ODI drivers instead of IPX, you must have the following:

- LSL version 1.2 (2.01 is recommended)

- IPXODI.COM version 1.2 (2.1 is recommended)

The latest versions of these files can be found on CompuServe in the Novell Libraries (GO NOVFILES). Current IPX, NETX, and IPXODI files are contained within the self-extracting files named VLMUP2.EXE and NET33X.EXE. Detailed information regarding these changes are located in DOSUP9.TXT.

Current versions of the Novell support drivers for Windows (VIPX.386, VNETWARE.386, NETWARE.DRV, etc.) are no longer contained in the self-extracting file WINUP9.EXE.  WINDR2.EXE and NWDLL2.EXE have replaced the WINUP9.EXE file, detailed information regarding these changes are located in WINUP9.TXT.

NOTE: As these drivers are updated and added to the CompuServe file, the number within the CompuServe filename will increment. For example, if Novell releases a newer IPX and adds it to WINDR2.EXE, the name will change to WINDR3.EXE.

Upgrade Installation


Installation

Installing BrightWorks is quick and simple, requiring minimal user input.

Use the following procedure to install BrightWorks on your network. You can exit the installation at any time by choosing Exit in the lower right corner of the installation screen.

During installation, BrightWorks modifies your existing WIN.INI file and backs up the old file as WIN.MCF. This change does not affect your Windows performance.

Refer to Appendix C in Using LAN Inventory or Using SiteMeter for information about installing and configuring BREQUEST.EXE and the Btrieve NLM. (The NLM and BREQUEST.EXE are required both to run the BrightWorks console and to perform the upgrade install.)

1.	Verify that you have a drive letter mapped to the SYS: volume for the file server on which you are installing BrightWorks.

2.	Start Windows.

3.	Place the first distribution diskette in your floppy drive if you are installing from diskettes.

If you are installing from a CD ROM, place the CD in your CD drive.

If you are installing the BBS release, decompress the zipped files into a directory 	on your local or network drive.

4.	Choose File | Run from your Windows Program Manager.

The Run dialog box is displayed.

5.	At the prompt, enter the drive letter of the floppy, CD, or hard drive where you inserted the distribution diskette, CD, or where you unzipped the program files from the BBS and then type SETUP.

For example, type:

A:\SETUP <ENTER>

or

<DRIVE>:\BWORKS.200\SETUP.EXE <ENTER>

At this point, a message is displayed informing you that Setup is initializing.

NOTE:  The log file INS200.LOG is created and placed in your WINDOWS directory. The log file is an ASCII file listing the location of the BrightWorks installation. The log file also lists any errors that occurred during installation. If an error that prevents completion of the installation process occurs, the log file will display automatically.

The Welcome dialog box is displayed.

6.	Choose Continue.

The Installation Configuration dialog box is displayed.

NOTE:  The Installation Configuration dialog box displays the required space and  suggested space needed to run the BrightWorks install as well as the available space on the selected volume of the current server. If there is insufficient space, you will have to choose a new destination (i.e., volume or file server).

7.	Type your company name in the Company Name text box.

8.	Select a server from the server drop-down list box.

The drop-down list box displays all the file servers to which you are currently attached and have a drive mapped. BrightWorks verifies that you have SUPERVISOR rights on the selected file server.

NOTE: Because of BrightWorks integrated nature, all components (Software Manager, Help Desk and Server Monitoring) must be installed on the same server.

9.	Select one of the following install options:

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Software Manager	Installs BrightWorks (software distribution), SiteMeter (software metering) and LAN Inventory (software and hardware inventory).
New Install	Copies BrightWorks files to the network and automatically creates the Program Manager group McAfee (if not found) containing the BrightWorks program, the Crystal Reports program and all associated Read Me file icons.
Upgrade	In addition to New Install features, it allows you to automatically upgrade from either previous versions of BrightWorks with minimal user input.
Help Desk	Installs LAN Support Center.
Server Monitor	Installs NetTune.
10.	Confirm the Directory in the Directory text box.

The drive letter and full directory must coincide with the file server you selected earlier. BrightWorks creates the directory if it does not exist. The default drive letter is the first one found on the server you specified. BWORKS.200 is the default directory.

11.	If you want to change an option's directory, choose the corresponding Browse button.

The Change Directory dialog box is displayed.

Select the desired directory and path and choose OK to return to the Installation Configuration dialog box.

12.	If desired, deselect the Configuration Options.

By default, the install procedure configures both your workstation and server. Simply select the check box to disable these settings.

If you do select the Workstation Options button, the Workstation Configuration Options dialog box is displayed.

If you do select the Server Options button, the Server Configuration Options dialog box is displayed.

Select the desired options in either dialog box and choose OK. The following table lists the available configuration options and their descriptions.

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Modify WIN.INI file	Inserts the following: [EXTENSIONS] RPT+CRW.EXE^.RPT
Configure Desktop	Adds McAfee program group and icons.
Modify AUTOEXEC.NCF file	Adds the following lines: LOAD LI LOAD SITEMETR LOAD SMRPROXY LOAD SMRRPT LOAD SMRENT

NOTE: If you choose not to modify your AUTOEXEC.NCF file during installation, you can later load the necessary NLMs by typing:
BWORKS
at the file server.

13.	Choose Continue to proceed with the installation.

A dialog box is displayed with a percent completed bar.

14.	If you selected the Upgrade option, refer to Upgrade Installation

If prompted, insert the remaining disks to complete the installation.

The Setup Information dialog box is displayed.

15.	Choose OK to indicate that the installation is complete. View the Read Me file for any updated product information.

Configuration Procedures

These instructions review the installation process and provide important information about installing the product NLMs.

Important:  BREQUEST.EXE version 6.10 or later must be properly loaded to run the BrightWorks Administration program and USAGE.EXE. For instructions on setting up server-based Btrieve, refer to Appendix C, Using Brequest in either Using LAN Inventory or Using SiteMeter.

NOVDB.INI file must exist in the Windows directory. For server-based Btrieve, the Local=NO line should exist in that file.

If you are using BrightWorks and receive the following error message:

BrightWorks: The Novell Brequester has not been loaded. BrightWorks databases will not be optimized. To optimize performance of this program, load the BTRIEVE.NLM on your server, the BREQUEST.EXE TSR on your workstation (with argument /d:17000), and restart Windows and BrightWorks.

and to the best of your knowledge Btrieve has been properly loaded, read the following instructions and take the appropriate steps.

This error occurs if the BTRIEVE.NLM or the BSPXCOM.NLM is not loaded on the file server. Please take the following steps:

1.	At the file server console, type BSTOP.

This unloads the NLMs.

2.	Type BSTART.

This loads both BTRIEVE.NLM and BPSXCOM.NLM on the file server.

Loading NLMs


Loading NLMs

The BrightWorks NLMs need to be loaded to begin collecting inventory and metering network software. To do this, at the file server, type:

BWORKS

This will load the required Btrieve NLMs, the LI.NLM, SITEMETR.NLM, SMRPROXY.NLM, SMRPT.NLM and SMRENT.NLM.

To unload the BrightWorks NLMs, type:

STOPBWRK

This will unload the BrightWorks NLMs.
