For Windows 95/98, turn off file caching in the client.
1. Right-click the red N in the system tray.
2. Click Novell Client Properties > click Advanced Settings.
3. Modify these settings:
  - Cache writes from on to off
  - Delay writes from on to off
  - File cache level from 3 to 0
  - File write through from off to on
  - True commit from off to on

Installation

If a previous version of ConsoleOne is running on the computer where you will install ConsoleOne, exit that version of ConsoleOne.

If you will install ConsoleOne on a NetWare server, unload all Java processes and JAVA.NLM on that server.

To see the active Java processes, enter JAVA -SHOWALL at the console prompt.
To unload all Java processes, enter JAVA -KILLALL at the console prompt.
To unload JAVA.NLM, enter JAVA -EXIT at the console prompt.

Download the ConsoleOne file to a temporary location on a Windows workstation. This file is a Windows executable. Double-click the C1.EXE file that you just downloaded. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation. When you are prompted to choose the location to install to, choose either a drive mapped to a server volume or choose a local workstation drive.

Starting ConsoleOne on Windows

The steps to start ConsoleOne on Windows depend on where ConsoleOne is installed.

Installation Location

Steps

NetWare volume

Map a drive (with a letter, not a UNC path) to the NetWare volume.

On the NetWare volume, browse to PUBLIC\MGMT\CONSOLEONE\1.2\BIN.

Double-click CONSOLEONE.EXE.

Local hard disk

On the Windows desktop, double-click the ConsoleOne icon.

Starting ConsoleOne on NetWare

Depending on whether the server GUI is up, complete the appropriate steps:

GUI Is Up	Steps
Yes	Switch to the GUI. Click Novell > ConsoleOne.
No	At the console prompt, enter C1START.

Known Issues

If you try to log in to an NDS tree in ConsoleOne but the tree doesn't seem to be available, try logging in using the IP address of a server in that tree.
ConsoleOne can be sluggish under tight memory conditions. If performance seems to be slowing down, restart ConsoleOne. The biggest performance booster is adding RAM.
Under Russian Windows NT, if all text in ConsoleOne appears as box characters, you are missing the Tahoma font. Copy the TAHOMA.TTF and TAHOMABD.TTF files from the \WINDOWS\FONTS folder of another Russian Windows system (such as Windows 98) to your \WINNT\FONTS folder.
If you create a User object in an Organization container, and the Organization name is the same as the NDS tree name, an error occurs when you try to assign an NDS password to the user. The workaround is to either rename the container or use NetWare Administrator to assign the NDS password.
You might have problems removing individual values from the Server Holds property of an object (on the generic Other property page). You can, however, remove the entire property and add it back with any values you need.
If you start ConsoleOne on a multiprocessor computer in debug mode (by adding the -debug and -windowout parameters to the command line), and ConsoleOne freezes during startup, remove the SHELLPREFS.SER and SNAPINPREFS.SER files from the drive where ConsoleOne is installed and try starting ConsoleOne again.
When running ConsoleOne on NetWare, if you try to authenticate to an NDS tree that the NetWare server isn't in, the server might abend. This is due to a problem in CLIB.NLM and will be fixed in a later NetWare release. In this case, run ConsoleOne on a different platform.
When adding or deleting replicas using ConsoleOne, the dialog box may not disappear. To close the dialog box, click Cancel. The operation will be completed in the background. This bug is attributed to the NetWare Server JVM 1.17b, but the problem is fixed in JVM 1.22.
