Home View

As the information age rolls forward, even the most productive users struggle to keep up. With business-critical data housed in so many systems and places, the simplest task requires switching between a multitude of applications. We think there’s a better solution than Alt-Tab to this digital-age challenge. Novell GroupWise gives you a Home View—a personal productivity dashboard that consolidates the tools and web applications you interact with most for any given aspect of your work. From emails to your boss and daily appointments to RSS feeds and team workspaces, you can grab what matters most and put it front and center.

Messaging

Send and receive email messages, phone messages and reminder notes. And if this sounds passé, remember that email is still king when it comes to enabling personal productivity. In fact, a recent Osterman Research study found that the typical corporate user spends nearly 30% of an eight-hour workday doing email-related tasks. And this figure dwarfs the time spent using other communication tools. The bottom line is that messaging is the linchpin of personal productivity, and no one does it better than GroupWise.

Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 SP2

novellWhat’s New in Open Enterprise Server 11 SP2

Small enhancements that make a big difference

 

Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 SP2 continues to give you the industry’s most advanced file and print services on the latest SUSE Linux Enterprise platform. You get so much more than the best Linux platform—you get it along with all the extras that only Novell can offer, including significant administration improvements that come with SP2:

  • Better, faster installation. We’ve made two main changes to the installation process. First, we created an express installation that requires minimal user intervention. Second, you can now clone a server running Open Enterprise Server after installation or upgrade.
  • Unified quota management. Dynamic Storage Technology now provides a unified quota management system so you can manage disk space easier. You can easily add, modify or delete directory quotas or user-space quotas on your primary volumes, then transfer those same settings for your secondary volumes.
  • Tools that improve management. Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 SP2 gives you the tools you need, including a new Novell Remote Manager health monitoring function; plugins to monitor and manage a Common Internet File System (CIFS) or Apple Filing Protocol (AFP); a utility to identify files and folders with obsolete owners; and the ability to delete dynamic leases in DNS.
  • File and Storage Services. We’ve introduced better integration with third-party antivirus, backup and hardware security module (HSM) solutions for file and storage. Now it’s easier to protect and back up your storage.
  • Domain Services for Windows. We’ve introduced a new sites and subnets feature that lets you configure multiple sites, even though domain controllers might be geographically distributed. Also, with the new Novell client support, Windows operations like domain login and password change will work.
  • NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8. NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 offers improvements in scalability and performance. It now takes advantage of a server’s processing power, resulting in faster change processing by orders of magnitude. In addition, the new version of eDirectory includes a new iManager and LDAP enhancements that allow for improved integration with LDAP applications.

Novell iManager workstation on Ubuntu 13.04

1. Download the latest iManager Workstation for Linux in Novell Download Center

2. Extract the package (for me usually in $HOME/Desktop)

3.  Prepare NICI for installation.

$> cd  $HOME/Desktop/imanager
$> cd  NICI/linux
$> sudo cp /nici.i386.rpm / -R

4. Modify the current  iManager.sh in the bin folder ($HOME/Desktop/imanager/bin) and remove the word  ”function” in every functions of the script.

example:

function CHECK_PERMISSIONS()
{
 echo "Test permissions" > $IMANAGER_BIN_NATIVE_DIR/perm.txt
 ....
}

should be

CHECK_PERMISSIONS() 
{ 
echo "Test permissions" > $IMANAGER_BIN_NATIVE_DIR/perm.txt 
.... 
}

5.  In the STARTMANAGER() function, remove the CHECK_NICI;

6.  Save the script and do  some test run.

$> cd $HOME/Desktop/imanager/bin
$> ./iManager.sh

 

Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization 10.0

ZENworks Application Virtualization 10.0 helps you to convert your Windows-compatible applications into self-contained virtual applications. When an application is virtualized, it becomes a single, isolated file that can run instantly from anywhere, including a thumb drive. Unlike traditional installation methods, the single virtual application file does not require a separate setup process or rely on external components and runtimes, reboots, or administrative privileges. The application is isolated from other system applications, preventing DLL conflicts and other deployment issues, but the experience for the application’s user is unchanged
