The URT Client Module is usually installed automatically and requires little manual intervention. However, you should make sure it is installed properly on client systems and that it starts correctly during logon.
These topics describe how to manage the Client Module for traditional logons:
The URT Client Module is usually installed automatically.
When automatic installation is enabled, the Client Module is installed after you install the URT logon script on the domain server.
If automatic installation is enabled in a Microsoft Networking environment, and a Windows NT or Windows 2000 system logs onto the network, the following events occur:
1. The logon script tries to run a utility on the system to verify whether the latest version of the Client Module is installed.
2. If the logon script does not find this utility on the system, the script copies the utility to the system and runs it.
3. If the Client Module is not installed, or the installed Client Module is not the latest version, the utility:
a. Obtains the latest version of the executable files from the domain server.
b. Tries to install or upgrade to the latest version of the Client Module.
4. If the attempt to install or upgrade fails:
a. The utility sends a packet to the VPS to request installation of the Client Module on the system.
b. The VPS notifies the URT Administrative Server to install the Client Module on the specified system.
After installation, the client runs normally.
Manual installation of the Client Module is different for Microsoft Networking and Novell NetWare clients, as described in these topics:
Note If a workstation runs both Microsoft Networking and NetWare, you must follow the instructions in both topics. |
Follow the instructions in this section to manually install the URT Client Module on a Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP (Professional) workstation running Microsoft Networking.
Note You must install the Client Module in every NT domain in your network. |
Alternately, if you are installing the Client Module on all Windows NT or Windows 2000 systems in a domain, you can select the domain. You can also select multiple systems by pressing the Shift key or the Ctrl key.
Note You can install the Client Module only on systems that use DHCP. If a selected system does not use DHCP, the Client Module installation fails. |
Step 2 A list of Windows NT and Windows 2000 clients is shown in the right pane. The client attributes are described in Table 7-1.
Table 7-1 NT HostsRight Pane Information
Step 3 To install the Client Module on all listed NT hosts, do not select any systems in the list. Otherwise, select the system on which you want to install the Client Module.
Step 4 Click Install Client Module or select Customize>Install Client Module.
URT installs the Client Module on the selected clients, and displays a message window so that you can monitor installation status.
Use the instructions in this section to manually install the Client Module on a Windows NT or Windows 2000 workstation running Novell NetWare.
Step 2 Double-click the NWAdmin32 application.
The NDS directory tree is displayed in the NWAdmin32 application.
If no NWAdmin32 icon displays, you must log onto NDS as administrator again.
Step 3 In the NDS directory tree, double-click the WINNT Workstation Package.
Step 4 Click Add Action.
The Create Scheduled Action window is displayed.
Step 5 Enter a meaningful name for the action (for example, Install URT).
Step 6 Click Create.
NAL creates the action and displays the Scheduled Action window.
Step 7 Select the newly created action.
Step 8 Click Details.
Step 9 Select Ignore package default schedule and use the following settings:
The Action Properties window is displayed.

The Item Properties window is displayed.
where Novellserver is the name of the server where you install the URT logon script. When the logon script is installed, URT installs the Client Module installation and uninstallation program on the server.
The Client Module is installed the first time the user logs onto the NetWare domain.
\\
Novellserver\sys\public\urt\UrtClientUninstall.bat.
Note For more information about uninstalling software from NetWare clients, see the Novell ZENworks documentation. |
The Client Module starts and stops automatically and should require no manual intervention. However, you can manually stop the service on Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP (Professional) systems to help with problem diagnosis, or disable it so that it does not restart when you restart the system.
Note You cannot manually start or stop the Client Module on Windows 98 or Windows XP systems. |
Step 2 Find URT Administrative Service in the list of services.
Note For Windows NT and Windows 2000, the Client Module is displayed as
urtclsvc.exe on the Windows Task Manager Processes tab. For Windows 98 and Windows XP, the Client Module is displayed as urt95svc.exe. |
Step 3 Status should usually be Started, and Startup should be Automatic.
