Logon server setup

When iSeries™ NetServer™ starts as a logon server, you need to take these actions in addition to normal startup.

You need to take the following actions to accomplish the setup:

• You need to check the existence of the NETLOGON share. If this share does not exist, then you should create a directory (/QIBM/UserData/OS400/NetServer/NetLogon) and share the directory as NETLOGON with read-only access. Logon scripts, system policies, and default user profiles can be placed in this directory.

• You should register iSeries NetServer and make sure it listens on the following TCP/IP NetBIOS names: __MSBROWSE__<01>, domain<1E>, domain<1C>, domain<1B>, domain<1D>, domain server<00>, server<20>

From a Windows^® DOS prompt, issuing nbtstat -a server_name lists these registered names. If WINS is configured for iSeries NetServer, then these names are also registered with WINS. If there is a conflict (meaning some other computer already holds one of the unique domain names), then only that particular service does not start and CPIB687 (RC=2) message is sent to QSYSOPR describing the conflict. See the iSeries NetServer Web page for more information about this error message.
