Introduction
This Quick Start explains how to install the Novell® Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition
2.0 software on a server. For more complete planning, installation, and administration information,
see the Novell Open Workgroup Solution Small Business Edition documentation Web site (http://
www.novell.com/documentation/nows/). You install the software on a physical or virtual server,
then configure the installation from a workstation and a Web browser. You need to make sure that
your server is plugged into a network with a DHCP server installed. If your server is a DHCP server,
another might not be available. You also need an Internet connection available to use.
To complete the installation, you need a server on which you can install a new operating system, a
workstation, and a browser.

Section 2.1, “Preparing to Install,” on page 11
Section 2.2, “Beginning the Installation,” on page 11
Section 2.3, “Web Installation and Configuration,” on page 12
Section 2.4, “Configuration and Administration,” on page 13
2.1 Preparing to Install
Verify that you have one disk with the Novell® Open Workgroup Suite Small Business Edition 2.0
installation files, or download the installation ISO from http://download.novell.com to a
location of your choice and burn it to a DVD. The download is 5 GB. Download time depends on
your hardware.
If you are using a VMware* session instead of a physical server, make sure to designate the boot
sequence to boot from the CD-ROM.
novdocx (en) 11 December 2007
2
2.2 Beginning the Installation
1 Insert the DVD into your chosen server.
2 Boot up the server. The installation splash screen then appears. Using the Down-arrow key,
select Installation, then press Enter.
3 The first page is the End User License Agreement (EULA). Read through the agreement and
click I Agree to advance to the next page.
4 After the initial files have been loaded onto the system, you are prompted to set up the initial
configuration of your server on the Installation Settings window. You now have the following
two options:
If you do not want to change any of the settings and choose to keep the defaults, just click
the Accept button in the lower right corner of the window. A Confirm Installation screen
appears; if you are satisfied with the default, click Install.
If you want to change any of the settings, click the Change button and select the setting
you want to modify. Repeat this task until all changes are complete. If you are satisfied
with your changes, click the Accept button in the lower right corner of the Installation
Settings main window. A Confirm Installation screen appears; if you are satisfied with
your changes, click Install.
IMPORTANT: Do not change the configurations on the Software settings. Doing so causes
your install to fail.
5 On the Network Configuration page, if you want to change any of the network settings, click
Change and select the setting you want to modify. If you do not want to make any changes,
click Next.
You are then presented with an IP address at the server prompt so you can move to the browserbased portion of the installation and configuration. Make a note of the IP address; you need it to
access the Web site where you continue the installation. You have now completed the base
installation of the server.
Installing
11
If you receive an IP address of https://127.0.0.1:8181 or https://:8181 instead of a valid IP address,
DHCP is not functioning. Complete the following steps:
1 Verify that you are connected to the network with your DHCP server.
2 Log in as root with a password novell.
3 Enter the following command: /etc/init.d/network restart
2.3 Web Installation and Configuration
After you finish the steps in Section 2.2, “Beginning the Installation,” on page 11, the rest of the
installation process is completed from a Web browser. Refer to Section 1.2, “Desktop Operating
System and Browser Requirements,” on page 9 for supported browsers.
1 Type the link supplied at the end of your server installation in your Web browser and press
Enter to bring up the first page of the Web installation.
2 The first page you see on the NOWS SBE site is the End User License Agreement (EULA).
Read through the agreement and click I Agree to advance to the next page.
3 The next page is Network Settings. Verify the settings or add the correct information.
The IP address should be from the initial setup of your server operating system. Verify that
this is accurate.
novdocx (en) 11 December 2007
The netmask and gateway should be changed to match that of your network.
The DNS entry should be the IP address of your DNS server.
The hostname should be the same as your server. Do not include special characters in the
name of your server.
The Domain should match the name of your Internet domain name.
4 After you have entered the correct information, click Next.
5 After your network settings have been committed, you are advanced to the License Key page.
Enter your contact e-mail address and the license keys that were provided to you, then click
Next.
6 The next step automatically checks for updates to the system and components by means of the
Internet. At this early stage, there should be no updates to retrieve. After the check is complete,
click Next.
7 The User Information page is where you enter password information for the administrator
login.You have two options on this page:
If you want to proceed with the Basic setup, enter a password for the NOWS
Administrator, then click Next.
If you want to enter a separate password for the server admin, click Advanced Mode, enter
a password for the NOWS Administrator and a password for the server, then click Next.
IMPORTANT: The difference between these two passwords is that the NOWS Administrator
password enables you to add, remove, or configure components on your NOWS server from
the NOWS Admin GUI. The server password is what you use to configure or update your
server from the console. If you don't choose to make each password different, then the
passwords are the same as the NOWS Administrator password you have chosen.
