Previously, you may have logged into the Netware server to store, share, and print documents. These same services will be available to you on the new Windows NT server, called ES1. From the user perspective, you will simply attach to the new server.

From the server administration perspective, migration from a Novell Netware server to a Microsoft Windows NT server involves more than just moving your files to a different server. Microsoft server environments are different then Novell server environments. One difference is that NT servers live in “domains.” A domain is a group of computers that share resources through a single account database. The ES1 server is in the domain called ESERVICES. Moving to this domain allows ITC to add new services easily and to assist the user community more effectively.

Some configuration changes will need to be made to your workstation so that you can access the ES1 server. These changes may include adding protocols, adding client services, and changing current settings, such as domain and workstation names. The information in this document will help you make the necessary configuration changes.

This document is intended for those setting up new hardware, as well as those who are changing the configuration on their existing hardware. Those who have new hardware will likely be entering the information for the first time rather than replacing what exists in their system configuration already. If you require additional assistance, feel free to e-mail: itc-microsystems@virginia.edu

NOTE: Always assume that ‘click’ means a click of the left mouse button unless otherwise specified.

Special Note: For users with persistent drive mappings

Before performing the following steps, users with unique mappings should right click My Computer and then select Disconnect Network Drive. Do not actually disconnect any mappings; you are only doing this because the list of drive mappings is easily viewable from here. Read and write down your present drive mappings

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL USERS

Your ESERVICES accounts start with a default password. You will be required to change this on your first successful login to the ESERVICES domain. If you have lost the default password information given to you, please contact itc-microsystems@virginia.edu for this information.

Windows NT

With Windows NT, there are two different types of accounts that need to be set up in order for your machine to join the ESERVICES domain: a user account and a computer account. The user account is your UVA computing ID; you would not be able to access any machines on the network without it. The computer account is different – think of it as a membership card for the domain you are trying to join. If your workstation does not have a computer account in the domain you are trying to join, you will not be able to access any of the domain’s resources. In this case, ESERVICES is the domain, and no machines without valid computer accounts will be allowed in. ITC Micro Systems will handle the creation of all computer accounts for valid machines ahead of time, but small changes in workstation configurations are required in order for you to properly be admitted to the domain.

Windows NT4 clients should follow this process to join the new ESERVICES domain:

Instructions for removing, if any, existing Novell Netware mappings

Add primary WINS server

While in the My Computer window, click Control Panel
Double click Network
Click the Protocols tab
Click the TCP/IP protocol and then click Properties
Click the WINS address tab
If the numbers below are already listed, you do not have to do anything. Click Cancel and exit the network control panel. If not, read on.
For primary WINS address, enter 128.143.3.199
For secondary WINS address, enter 128.143.22.189
Make sure that the boxes marked ‘Enable DNS for Windows Resolution’ and ‘Enable LMHOSTS lookup’ are both checked
Click OK

Reboot your computer and log back in as Administrator into the local computer domain when finished

Copy the original user profile to Default User (for those without new DCI hardware)

This step is only necessary if you are not receiving new hardware via the DCI program. Do not perform this step if you are installing new hardware.

The following procedure will copy your user profile to Default User. When you join the ESERVICES domain, none of your personal settings such as display resolution/color depth, icon placement, favorites, etc. will be lost.

Click Start, then Settings, then Control Panel
Double click System
Click the User Profiles tab (this may take a few moments)
Click your user profile that belongs to your local computer ID domain (i.e. <computer-name>\mst3k)
Click Copy To, then Browse
Browse to C:\WINNT\PROFILES\ (double click C: , then WINNT, then PROFILES directories)
Click the Default User directory
Click OK
Your original profile will now be copied to the Default user. This may take a few moments.
Once the disk is finished writing the information, reboot your machine and log back in as Administrator to the local machine.

Change your computer name

Log in to your computer as Administrator into the local domain. How do you identify which domain is your local domain? Quite simply, it’s usually the one on the login box (the 3^rd field below username and password) that is not ESERVICES.
Click Start, then Settings, then Control Panel
Double click Network
In the identification tab, click Change
Change the current computer name using the following logic: If your user ID is mst3k, you would add NT to the end of that to derive MST3KNT as a computer name. This is very important. Simply take your UVA computing ID, add the letters NT to it, and this is your computer name.
Save the changes and reboot.

Change your domain login

Click Start, then Settings, then Control Panel
Double click Network
In the Identification tab, click Change
Change your computer name to your University of Virginia computing ID plus the letters ‘nt’ (e.g. Your computing ID is mst3k, your computer name should be changed to mst3knt) If you need to name your computer something else, send email: itc-microsystems@virginia.edu , and we will change the name of your computer account.
Answer YES when Windows asks if you are sure you want to change your computer name. Click OK
Click Change again
Make sure that the ‘Member of domain’ circle is filled in and then change your domain to ESERVICES. Answer YES when Windows asks for confirmation, then click OK. If you are successful, Windows NT will display a message that reads “Welcome to the ESERVICES domain.” If you are unsuccessful, then you will get an error message. Check to see that you performed all the steps correctly.
Reboot your computer when Windows prompts you to do so
Log back in to your NT machine as Administrator [specify your local domain, which is your machine name (i.e. MST3KNT)]
Click Start, then Run, and type cmd in the box and click OK
Type the following line exactly as it appears here into the console window, replacing [your user id] with your own UVA computing ID: net localgroup Administrators ESERVICES\[your user id] /add
For example, if your user account is mst3k, you would enter : net localgroup Administrators ESERVICES\mst3k /add
Windows NT should report the successful execution of the command. If it does not, it is possible that you mistyped the line. If successful, type exit at the console prompt. The window will close.
Reboot your machine and log in to the ESERVICES domain with your UVA Computing ID [i.e. mst3k]

Change existing printers

If you currently attach to a networked printer on your old NetWare server, it is easiest to simply delete them from your system configuration and then re-add them, following the steps below for adding a new printer.

Double click My Computer, then double click Printers
Right click each of your network printers one at a time, then choose Delete and answer yes to the verification question
Follow the instructions below for adding a new printer

Adding a new printer

Double click Network Neighborhood
Double click the server ES1
View the list of printers and select one that is close to your location. The naming convention is often composed of printer location and brand name. For example, CADSHP4SI is located in Carruthers ADS and is a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4si.
Double click the printer you want to print to, and answer Yes to the text box that appears.
Windows NT will automatically attach to the printer, and you can begin printing immediately. The printer status box will appear for whatever printer you have attached to; this is completely normal. Simply close the box and return to your desktop.

Verify and default drive mappings

You should have the default HOME share already mapped by default on letter H by your login script. Additionally, there should be a G: drive that points to the shared folders used by most departments. These are the default drive used on the network. Please note that other drive letters can be specified by each department. For example, Madison Hall users will have M:, N: and O: drives.

If you no longer require any resources on your old Novell server, it is safe to remove the Client for Netware Networks from Windows NT’s network control panel. Do this by:

Log in as the local Administrator account
Start, then Settings, then Control Panel
Double click Network
Click the Services tab
Click Client Services for Netware
Click Remove, answer Yes, then click Close
Reboot your computer

Shared directories

If you are presently sharing any directories on your workstation, these directories will remained shared under the new domain. You should not be required to change anything.

Browsing the new domain

Double click on Network Neighborhood to see all the machines in the domain. Click Entire Network to browse at a level higher than your current one. This will allow you to see the other domains in the network, though you may not necessarily be able to access them.
