SUMMARY
=======

This article describes how to configure an unattended Setup of Windows NT with
the parameters for your Novell NetWare network.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Specifying the NetWare Server
-----------------------------

To configure your unattended Setup for your preferred NetWare server, edit the
following sections of your Unattend.txt file:

     [<Services section>]
     NWWKSTA = <NetWare Client Parameters>

     [<NetWare Client Parameters>]
     !DefaultLocation = "<preferred_server>"

Specifying the NDS Tree and Context
-----------------------------------

To configure your unattended Setup for your NDS default tree and context, edit
the following sections of your Unattend.txt file:

     [<Services section>]
     NWWKSTA = <NetWare Client Parameters>

     [<NetWare Client Parameters>]
     !DefaultLocation = "<tree\context>"

For example:

     !DefaultLocation = "ABC\MARKETING.US"

In this example, ABC is your default tree and MARKETING.US is your default
context.

Configuring the Login Script Option
-----------------------------------

To define the login script type that Windows NT processes, edit the following
section of your Unattend.txt file:

     [<NetWare Client Parameters>]
     !DefaultScriptOptions
     Value: 0 | 1 | 3

For example:

  !DefaultScriptOptions = 3

If you set the value to 0, login scripts are ignored. If you set the value to 1,
only NetWare 3.x login scripts are processed. If you set the value to 3, NetWare
3.x or NetWare 4.0 login scripts are processed.
