These sections describe tasks involved in managing the User Registration Tool (URT) client service. This service should require minimal management. You mainly must ensure that it is installed properly on client machines, and that it is starting correctly during logon. See Chapter 7, "Troubleshooting User Registration" for information on troubleshooting user logon problems.
You must install the URT client service on Windows NT clients (workstations or servers) for the machine to be managed by URT. The installation procedure is different for Microsoft Networking and NetWare clients, and they are described here separately.
If a Windows NT workstation is running Microsoft Networking, use this procedure to install the URT client. If the workstation is running both Microsoft Networking and NetWare networking, follow this procedure and the procedure in "Installing the URT Client on NetWare Windows NT Clients."
Choose a time of day when most of the Windows NT machines should be up and running on the network (even if users are not logged onto the machine). You can only install the service on Windows NT machines that are running and connected to the network. Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines install the client service from the NT domain controller, so these machines do not need to be running when you install the client service. (Windows NT machines use a more restrictive security method, which prevents the client service from installing from the NT domain controller.)
For Microsoft Networking, you must have NT Administrator authority in an NT domain to install the URT client service on computers in that domain. If you are not logged in with an account with Administrator authority on the target NT domain, you are prompted for the user name and password. Enter the user name in the NT_domain\username format.
A list of Windows NT clients is shown in the right-hand pane. The attributes are described in Table 6-1.
Table 6-1 NT Hosts: Right-Hand Pane (List Pane)
Step 2 If you want to install the URT client service on all listed NT hosts, then do not select any hosts in the list. Otherwise, select the host on which you want to install the URT client service.
Step 3 
Click the Install Client Service button, or select Configure>Install Client Service.
URT installs the service on the selected clients, and opens a message window so that you can follow the status of the installation.
If a Windows NT workstation is running NetWare networking, use this procedure to install the URT client. If the workstation is running both Microsoft Networking and NetWare networking, follow this procedure and the procedure in "Installing the Client Service on Microsoft Networking Windows NT Clients."
For NetWare, you must have administrator or admin-equivalent authority to install the URT client service on computers defined in the NDS directory tree.
You must also have installed the Z.E.N. Works Starter Pack, and created the WINNT User Package and WINNT Workstation Package policy objects. These policy objects must be associated with the organizational object that contains the users and groups on whose workstations you will install the URT client. See the Novell documentation at http://www.novell.com for more information.
Step 2 In NAL, double-click the NWAdmin32 application.
The NDS directory tree is displayed in the NWAdmin32 application.
Step 3 Double-click the WINNT Workstation Package in the NDS directory tree.
Step 4 In the WINNT Workstation Package, click Add Action.
NAL opens the Create Scheduled Action window.
Step 5 In Create Schedule Action in the Create Scheduled Action window, enter a meaningful name for the action (for example, "Install URT") and click Create.
NAL creates the action and opens the Scheduled Action window.
Step 6 Select the newly created action in the Scheduled Action window and click Details:
NAL opens the Action Properties window.
(b). Select the General tab in the Action Properties window, and select these characteristics (allowing the others to default):
Enter the file name of the URT client installation program in this format:
\\Novellserver\sys\public\urt\UrtClientInstall.bat
Novellserver is the name of the server where you install the URT logon script. URT installs the client installation and uninstallation program on the server when the script is installed.
(d). Select the Schedule tab in the Action Properties window, and select User Login for Event.
(e). Select the Advanced tab in the Action Properties window, and check Disable action after completion.
These settings will result in the URT client being installed the first time the user logs into the NetWare domain.
You must install the URT script on the domain controller or NetWare server, and update the domain controller's or NetWare server's logon script, in order for URT to intercept and handle user logons. You only need to do this once for each NT domain or NDS directory.
When installing the script on Windows NT domain controllers, you must have NT Administrator authority in an NT domain to install the URT logon script on the domain controllers in that domain. If you are not logged in with an account with Administrator authority on the target NT domain, you are prompted for the user name and password. Enter the user name in the NT_domain\username format.
When installing the script on NetWare servers, you must have administrator or admin-equivalent authority.
Step 2 
Select Configure>Install URT Script.
URT displays a list of domain controllers or NetWare servers found in the selected domain.
Step 3 Click Yes.
URT installs the URT script (urt.bat) on the domain controllers and NetWare servers, and displays a message dialog showing the status of the installation.
Step 4 Edit the logon script file to make these changes:
(a). For Microsoft Networking, add this line to the logon script on the NT primary domain controller:
(b). For NetWare, add this line to the Login properties for the Organization object that contains the users, groups, and other organizations whose logons you want to manage with URT, using the Novell Application Launcher (NAL) program:
These commands run the urt.bat file on the during user logons.
(a). Select Start>Programs>Administrative Tools>User Manager to start the Windows NT User Manager.
(b). Double-click on a user name.
(c). Click Profile in the User Properties window.
(d). In the User Environment Profile, enter urt.bat in the Logon Script Name field and click OK.
The URT client service starts and stops automatically, and should require no manual intervention. However, you can explicitly stop the service on Windows NT machines to aid in problem diagnosis, or disable it so that it does not restart when you reboot the machine.
You cannot explicitly start or stop the URT client service on Windows 95 or Windows 98 machines.
Step 2 Find URT Client Service in the list of services.
Normally, the Status should be Started, and Startup should be Automatic.
If you no longer want a workstation to use the URT services, you can uninstall the URT client service from the machine.
The client service uninstall process differs depending on the operating system and type of networking used on the workstation. These topics cover the various uninstall procedures:
You can remove the URT client from Windows 95 and Windows 98 using the same procedure. It does not matter whether the client is using Microsoft Networking or NetWare.
Step 2 Restart the Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines and log into the network. The onoffhandler command uninstalls the service from these clients.
Step 3 If you are only removing the client from this machine, but you want other Windows 95 or Windows 98 machines to use URT, remove the Windows 95 or Windows 98 machine from the network and remove your changes to urt.bat. Because Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines automatically install the service on logon, you cannot permanently remove the service from a Windows 95 or Windows 98 client.
You can use the URT management interface to remove the URT client from Windows NT workstations if the workstations are using Microsoft Networking.
For Microsoft Networking, you must have NT Administrator authority in an NT domain to uninstall the URT client service from Windows NT clients in that domain. If you are not logged in with an account with Administrator authority on the target NT domain, you are prompted for the user name and password. Enter the user name in the NT_domain\username format.
Step 2 If you want to uninstall the URT client service on all listed NT hosts, then do not select any hosts in the list. Otherwise, select the host from which you want to uninstall the URT client service.
Step 3 Select Configure>Uninstall Client Service.
URT uninstalls the service on the selected clients, and opens a message dialog so that you can follow the status of the uninstallation.
Use the Novell Application Launcher (NAL) program to remove URT clients from Windows NT workstations that use NetWare networking.
For NetWare, you must have administrator or admin-equivalent authority to uninstall the URT client service on computers defined in the NDS directory tree.
Step 2 In NAL, double-click the NWAdmin32 application.
The NDS directory tree is displayed in the NWAdmin32 application.
Step 3 Double-click the WINNT Workstation Package in the NDS directory tree.
Step 4 In the WINNT Workstation Package, click Add Action.
Step 5 In Create Schedule Action, enter a meaningful name for the action (for example, "Uninstall URT") and click Create.
Step 6 Select the newly-created action and click Details:
(a). In Scheduled Action, click Details.
(b). Select the General tab, and select these characteristics (allowing the others to default):
(c). Select the Items tab, and click Add. Then, enter the file name of the URT client uninstallation program in this format:
\\Novellserver\sys\public\urt\UrtClientUninstall.bat
Novellserver is the name of the server where you install the URT logon script. URT installs the client installation and uninstallation program on the server when the script is installed.
(d). Select the Schedule tab, and select User Login for Event.
(e). Select the Advanced tab, and check Disable action after completion.
These settings will result in the URT client being uninstalled the next time the user logs into the NetWare domain.
If you no longer want to use URT on an NT domain or NDS directory, you can remove URT from the domain by eliminating the domain's connection to URT.
Step 2 Edit the logon script on the NT domain controller or NetWare server for the domain, and remove the call to urt.bat.
Step 3 Delete urt.bat from the NT domain controller.
Step 4 Uninstall the URT client service from the Windows NT machines in the NT domain. See "Removing the Windows NT Microsoft Networking URT Client" and "Removing the Windows NT NetWare URT Client" for the procedures.
