Note: If your students work on standalone computer stations and you and your students have CD-ROM drives, please continue with these steps: a. After installing the program to the teacher workstation, set up students, groups, passwords and the Save option using the Accounting Management System (see detailed instructions on pages 63-75). b. Close the Accounting Management System and use the Utility Disc to copy the student and group rosters and data from the teacher workstation to a floppy disk (see Using the Utility Disk in Appendix). c.

Click Step 1: Install Program Files to Network Location if it’s not already selected, and click Next to continue. 7. You must choose a network folder where the program will install the files. Click Next to accept the default folder location (recommended) or Browse to select a different folder. Important! Be sure to make a note of the full path and folder name; you will need it during workstation installations. 8. The next step is to select which components you want to install to the network. Your choice will be based on whether the student workstations have CD-ROM drives, or whether you would like to have the students access the program components from their CD-ROM drives due to network space requirements or other limitations or conveniences that best suit your teaching needs. The network installation options are as follows:
9. After you have selected the type of installation you wish to perform, click Next to continue. 10.

Note: There are two parts to granting access to a shared folder: permissions and security. By default, the permissions are given to the”Everyone” group and they have full control.

Novell:
In the
Network-Workstation Installation, please make sure that the server path is
mapped before the administrator chooses
the folder for Installation of Server files on the Novell Server. The server
should be available as a mapped drive on the user’s workstation. The
installation will not proceed without selecting the proper Novell Server
Installation path/Directory. The steps to map the
Novell Server drive from the Netware Client Workstation is as follows: 1. Right click on the Novell system tray icon,
prompting a menu to appear. Select map
a network drive from the menu. 2. Specify a drive letter to map (Y, for example). 3. Type or browse to the path to the network resource
where the drive needs to be mapped. 4. Specify the login name to use for the map. 5. If no login name is provided, the client uses the
default Windows logon username. If necessary, the client later prompts the
user for the password that matches the server login username provided. Note: Don't forget to ensure that the login name you're
going to be using has adequate Trustee Rights on the mapped drive (they'll
need rights to write, execute, modify, read in order to run the application). (Optional) Check the
"Always Map This Drive Letter When You Start Windows" option. 6. Click the Map button. Direct Mapping of all Users from the Novell Server: For every username/client
connecting to the Novell Server the Following line of code can be added. Click on the Novell
startup button and then click ConsoleOne to launch the Novell ConsoleOne
window. In the Novell Tree for
each user made add the following script Novell > Users-properties >
Login scripts. ·
map display
off ·
map errors off ·
map
Y:=Novellserver/Glencoe: Y is the drive letter
for the mapped drive of all User Workstations. On the Novell login screen,
Novell server represents the server field and Glencoe represents the context
field. Once the drive is mapped, then
the admin needs to ensure that the appropriate users will have access to the
share. Ordinary users (what students are
likely to be) must be given additional permissions, or Trustee Rights, to the
shared network folder. If they are not, then the login script you’ve added
will not work. The users need to be able to write to and modify data from the
share. Permissions should be adjusted accordingly. Complete installation
of the Network version of the product. This process consists of two steps: 1. Installation of Server files on the Novell Server: This is
referred to as step one of the network installation process. In executing step one (installation to the
share/network location), users must be at the Windows machine that's going to
become the client workstation. When prompted to choose where to direct the
first group of files to be installed, the default is the local C drive. Users must ignore this default, and instead
navigate from the browse button to the portion of the Novell server they've
already mapped on their current machine. (In other words, users shouldn't
select the local C drive for any of the installation of server files to the
Novell server. They should only select the mapped network drive that connects
to the Novell server.) Users will need to remember the location of the Mapped
drive along with the Drive letter, as this path will be needed in the 2nd
step of the Network Installation. Once this step is complete, users will be
asked to select the components that need to be installed to the Network
drive. A screen will display the components that are installed and their
respective paths will follow. 2. Installation of Workstation files on the Client
Workstation: This is referred to
as step two of the network installation process. In executing step two users must be at the
Windows client machine (same machine as in step 1 above). When prompted to choose the workstation
Installation folder, the users must select a local drive on the workstation
machine.(i.e. to a drive that is native to that machine.) After this the user
will be asked to select the Drive where the Server files were installed
earlier (The drive to which the server files were installed in step 1 of
network install). The user will be required to enter the location of the
mapped drive (e.g. Y:\Glencoe_server). This screen will be followed by
screens which will prompt the user to select the location of the Templates
and Tutorial for the program. After this the user will be provided with a
screen that will confirm the user preferences for workstation Installation. |

|
||
|
Issue: Is this program compatible with Windows |
||
|
