NetWare 4.10 Year 2000 fixes.

Additional information is available on our Web site at www.novell.com/year2000

This update file is NOT for the NetWare 4.10 SMP and NetWare SFT III products. For SMP and SFT III, upgrade to NetWare 4.11 or higher.

Requirements:
 1) Hardware must be year 2000 ready (check with your hardware vendor).
 2) The 32bit Netware Administrator. This is located with the Novell Clients at www.novell.com/download
 3) All of the current patches must be installed in addition to this patch. These can be found on the Support Connection CD and on the Internet at
Minimum Patch List

1. Make a back-up copy or rename the original files before replacing them.

2. The directory structure is arranged so that files in each directory will be copied to their respective directory on a server.

For Example:
SYS\PUBLIC\RCONSOLE.EXE should be copied to the server's SYS: volume in the
PUBLIC directory.

If the patch kit 410PT8B.EXE or later has already been installed, disregard installing LOADER.EXE.

LOADER.EXE Instructions:

1. Copy the LOADER.EXE and LSWAP.EXE files from \BOOT to the appropriate NetWare boot directory of the server (for example, C:\NWSERVER).

2. Execute the following command at the DOS prompt while in the server boot directory:

    Usage: LSWAP [LoaderFilePath [ServerFilePath]]
                Default LoaderFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\LOADER.EXE
                Default ServerFilePath = C:\NWSERVER\SERVER.EXE

PROBLEMS RESOLVED:

LOADER.EXE
The file server could abend at the year 2000 roll over to 1/1/2000. Using the SET TIME command, the BIOS clock would also be reset to the year 1980. (This patch is also contained in the 410PT8B.EXE file.)

RCONSOLE.EXE
When selecting the directory scan option, the year as indicated by the file
creation date displays as 100 instead of 00, 134 instead of 34, etc.

MENU.OVL
With the NMENU program the only incorrect date is found by hitting the <F2> key and looking at the "Logged On Since" parameter. Logged in since date displays the year as 100 for 2000, 134 for 2034, etc.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

- The utilities netadmin.exe and nwadmin.exe are 16 bit utilities that have minor year 2000 problem, they are unable to set deferred printing after the year 1999. Please use the 32 bit administration tool from the client CD or from www.novell.com/download.

- Previously this file contained NETUSER.EXE, but there really was not year 2000 fix in this file. This utility requires the time zone variable (TZ) be set at the client workstation, or the wrong time will be displayed.
