In addition, they will learn about file systems, storage, queue-based printing, remote access, the FastTrack Internet server, and other topics related to NetWare 5.

This series is for anyone interested in learning to administer NetWare 5 or in taking the Novell CNE 5 Test #050-640 or CNI Test #050-840. This online course contains 6 lessons and should take approximately 18 hours to complete.

Lesson 1: Upgrading or Migrating (2.0) hours

Upgrading or Migrating teaches you how to choose between upgrading or migrating a server to NetWare 5, upgrade an existing NetWare server to NetWare 5, and migrate information from an existing NetWare server to a new NetWare 5 server. This course reviews the procedures for upgrading an existing NetWare server to NetWare 5 or migrating the information on an existing NetWare server to a new NetWare 5 server. Topics include Upgrading, Migrating, Preparing the Source and the Project, Selecting and Verifying Data, and Completing the Migration.

Lesson 2: Managing the Server (3.0) hours

Managing the Server teaches you how to load NLMs, customize server configuration files, manage the server using Remote Console, secure the server, including the use of a screen saver, and enable Java support on the server and use ConsoleOne. This course provides instructions on how to manage a NetWare 5 server by using NLMs, configuration files, and ConsoleOne. The course also examines how to secure the server and enable Java support. Topics include Server Components and Functions, Server Configuration Files, Remote Console, Securing the Server, Java Support, and Managing with ConsoleOne.

Lesson 3: The File System (3.0) hours

The File System teaches you how to design the NetWare file system that is efficient and easy to use, create custom volumes and directories, and identify system created directories and explain their roles. This course reviews the role of volumes and directories in the file system, including principles for structuring the file system. It also provides instruction on how to create custom volumes and directories. Topics include Custom Volumes in the File System, System Created Directories, Directory Structure, and Custom Directory Structures.

Lesson 4: NSS and Backup (4.0) hours

NSS and Backup teaches you how to create an NSS volume, backup a server, restore a workstation's file system, and restore a server's file system and NDS database. This course examines how information on the NetWare 5 server can be stored in a Novell Storage System volume. It also examines the concepts and procedures for backing up and restoring both server and workstation data. Topics include Novell Storage System (NSS), Understanding Backup, Backing Up Information, and Data Restoration.

Lesson 5: Memory and CPU Performance (3.0) hours

Memory and CPU Performance teaches you how to explain NetWare 5 memory allocation, use virtual memory, interpret information from the MONITOR application, modify cache memory, and configure application CPU time. This course shows users how to optimize server performance by using the MONITOR application and managing server memory. Topics include NetWare 5 Memory Allocation, Virtual Memory, Monitoring Server Performance, Cache Memory, and Controlling Application CPU Time.

Lesson 6: Disk and Network Performance (3.0) hours

Disk and Network Performance teaches you how to define block suballocation, activate file compression on the server, modify packet receive buffers, define Packet Burt protocol, and configure the server to handle Large Internet Packets (LIPs). This course shows the user advanced techniques for optimizing the server. These techniques increase the amount of data that can be stored on the server and the speed at which server communications occur. Topics include Block Suballocation, File Compression, Packet Receive Buffers, Packet Burst, and Large Internet Packets (LIPs).
