Introduction

This Read Me describes how to use Apple Network Assistant
2.0.1 Updater. Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater updates Apple
Network Assistant from version 2.0 to version 2.0.1. This
Read Me also describes the changes in Network Assistant
2.0.1.

IMPORTANT You can only use the Network Assistant 2.0.1
Updater to update Network Assistant 2.0. You cannot use it
to update Apple Network Assistant 2.0 Demo.

Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater replaces these three items:

- Network Assistant Startup extension

- Network Assistant program

- Network Assistant Security program

Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater replaces only items that are
already installed on a workstation. Whether an item is
installed on a workstation depends on how it is used in your
network:

- An administrator workstation (you use it to administer the
network) will have the Network Assistant Startup extension
and Network Assistant program installed. It may also have
the Network Assistant Security program installed.

- A user workstation will have the Network Assistant Startup
extension installed. It may also have the Network Assistant
Security program installed.

Installation Options

There are three ways you can update Network Assistant to the
new version:

- With Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater on the hard disk of
the workstation, perform the update as described in the next
section, "Using Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater." For
example, you might do this after you download Network
Assistant 2.0.1 Updater from the Apple Network Administrator
Toolkit World Wide Web site to your administrator
workstation.

- Copy Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater to a floppy disk then
go to each workstation to perform the update as described in
the next section.

- Use Network Assistant to update user workstations and
other administrator workstations remotely from an
administrator workstation. You must first update the
administrator workstation as described in the next section.
For more information about updating workstations in this
way, see "Updating Workstations Using Network Assistant"
later in this document.


Using Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater

Follow these steps to update Network Assistant using Network
Assistant 2.0.1 Updater on a workstation's hard disk or a
floppy disk:

1. Double-click the Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater icon to
open the program.

2. In the dialog box that appears, click Update.

The Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater attempts to locate the
Network Assistant items on the workstation. If it cannot
find an item, a dialog box appears.

3. If this happens, do one of the following:

- Locate the item using the file directory in the dialog
box, then click Update.

- Click Skip if the item is not installed on the computer.

When the update is complete, an alert box appears to tell
you that the update was successful.

4. Click OK to quit Network Assistant 2.0.1 Updater.

IMPORTANT To update a Network Assistant item, it must be
installed on the workstation. For example, if you want to
update Network Assistant Security on user workstations as
described in the next section, the program must be installed
on the administrator workstation when you update it. If an
item that you want to update is not on a workstation, you
can install it as described in Part 1 of Apple Network
Administrator Toolkit.


Updating Workstations Using Network Assistant

After you have updated Network Assistant on an administrator
workstation (as described in the previous section), you can
use Network Assistant to remotely update the other
workstations in your network. To do so, you select the
workstations you want to update then use the Copy Items
dialog box to find the Network Assistant item you want to
copy to the workstations, choose where to copy the item, and
copy it.

Each workstation must have Network Assistant Startup
installed and have the following administrator access
privileges selected:
- "Allow administrators to"
- "Restart and shut down this workstation"
- "Copy items to this workstation"
- "Delete and replace items on this workstation"

You set administrator access privileges using the Network
Assistant Security program.

To update workstations on your network:

1. In Network Assistant, select the workstations you want to
update in the Workstation Status window or any report
window.

2. Choose Copy Items from the Manage menu.

3.	In the dialog box that appears, choose from the
"Find items on" pop-up menu the disk on your workstation
where the Network Assistant items are located.

4.	Use the pop-up menus below the "Find items on" pop-up
menu to specify how to search for the Network Assistant
item. If a text box appears to the right of the pop-up
menus, enter the text necessary for the search.

For example, you might choose "name" and "contains" from the
pop-up menus and enter "Network Assistant" in the text box.

5.	Click Find.

All the items that match your search criteria appear in the
"Items found on" list.

6.	Select the names of the Network Assistant items
you want to copy to the other workstations in the "Items
found on" list.

For example, you can select both Network Assistant Startup
and Network Assistant Security to update user workstations.

7. Use the "Place items in" pop-up menu to choose where you
want to copy the item on the other workstations.

For example, if you are updating the Network Assistant
Startup extension, select the copy that appears in the
"Items found on" list that is in the Extensions folder in
the System Folder on your workstation, then choose "Same
relative location" to copy the file to the Extensions folder
on the other workstations.

8. Click Copy.

9. An alert box appears to tell you that the item already
exists. Click Replace.

IMPORTANT If you update the Network Assistant Startup
extension on other workstations using Network Assistant, you
will need to restart the other workstations to use the new
version. To do this using Network Assistant, be sure the
workstations are selected in the Workstation Status window
or any report window, then choose Restart from the Manage
menu. In the dialog box that appears, select the option you
want to use and click Restart.

Note: After you have updated the other workstations using
Network Assistant, you can use Network Assistant to delete
older versions of the software. To do this, first create a
Software Version report for the workstations, then select
the items you want to delete in the report window and choose
Delete Selected Items from the Manage menu.


Changes in Network Assistant 2.0.1

Network Assistant 2.0.1 fixes the following problems, which
sometimes occurred when using the Copy Hard Disk command:

- The command sometimes failed if the destination
workstation had File Sharing turned on.

- Network Assistant did not rebuild the desktop of the
destination workstations after copying the hard disk.

- Network Assistant deleted files on the desktop of the
destination workstations, although it did not copy files on
the desktop of the administrator workstation to the
detstination workstations. Network Assistant no longer
deletes the files. Because of limitations with desktop
printing, Network Assistant will not copy files on the
desktop of the adminstrator workstation to destination
workstations.

Network Assistant 2.0.1 also fixes these problems:

- On a network with more than one zone and using certain
non-Apple network routers, Network Assistant froze when you
chose Workstations from the Setup menu.

- Network Assistant did not turn off certain screen saver
programs on user workstations when you chose Lock Screen or
Share Screen from the Interact menu.

- When you used the Copy Items command, Network Assistant
sometimes reported incorrectly that there was not enough
free space on the destination workstation to complete the
command.
