Installing iSeries Access for Windows on Windows PCs

Administering iSeries NetServer from a PC client requires the use of iSeries Navigator, which is a component of iSeries Access for Windows.

iSeries NetServer shares the QIBM directory with clients to allow i5/OS^® users who already have user profiles to install iSeries Access for Windows on their PC clients. However, iSeries NetServer does not automatically configure guest support, and users without user profiles are not able to access integrated file system directories and output queues using iSeries NetServer. Only the network administrator can remove the file share from the QIBM directory.

To allow guests to have access to shared resources, configure the iSeries NetServer Advanced - Next start properties with a user profile for guest or anonymous users.
