Selecting the Server

In the Server-Based Setup dialog box, the Set Server Install Path box shows the mapped drive or the UNC path for the selected server.

To define the path where source files will be installed

1. In the Server-Based Setup dialog box, click Set Path (or Change Path, if a path has already been set).
2. In the Server Path dialog box, type the drive letter for a mapped drive or the UNC path to the server where you want to install Windows 95 source files. Then click OK.

   For example, if the server where you want to install the files is named NWSVR1 and the share is WIN95SRC, type:

• \\nwsvr1\win95src

  Notice that you can specify a UNC path for a NetWare server if you are already attached to that server.

If you specify a subdirectory on the server and that directory does not already exist, Server-based Setup asks if you want to create the directory, and then completes this action if you confirm the message.

If you have insufficient privileges for connecting to or creating a directory on the specified server, a message warns you. You can specify another server, or quit Server-based Setup and log on using an account that has sufficient privileges on the specified server.

When Server-based Setup is set to a new path, it looks for the Registry file (NETSETUP.POL) that it uses to track which computers have been set up. Each time you use Server-based Setup to create a machine directory, an entry is added to this file. No entry is added when a user runs Windows 95 Setup from that shared directory.

Note NETSETUP.POL is read only by Server-based Setup to create MSBATCH.INF. You cannot run System Policy Editor to read or modify NETSETUP.POL. Also, you cannot edit MSBATCH.INF using Server-based Setup; you must edit setup scripts using a text editor.
