Novell Client Install Manager

Novell* Client* Install Manager allows you to set properties for one or more workstations prior to an unattended install. This method prevents you from having to set each workstation individually.

To further simplify installation, you can set up one workstation the way you want to set up the rest of the workstations, then import that workstation's properties from the registry and save them as the unattend.txt file you use when you install the client on the other workstations during an unattended install.

Novell Client Install Manager contains the following elements:
