This article is addressed to the network administrator and outlines the procedure for setting up Microsoft Schedule+ when Schedule+ is run from the network, and no Schedule+ files are stored locally on the users' workstations. The first section tells how to set up Schedule+ when Microsoft Windows and Schedule+ are run entirely from the network. The second section tells how to set up Schedule+ when Windows is run locally and Schedule+ is run from the network.

NOTE: Schedule+ version 1.0 was not designed to be run directly from the network. Because the file I/O that normally occurs on the local workstation is being handled by the network, running Schedule+ from the network may decrease Schedule+'s performance.

RUNNING WINDOWS AND SCHEDULE+ FROM THE NETWORK

Definitions

• <WINSHARE> refers to the shared location of the network installation of Windows.
• <WINTEMP> refers to a temporary directory for a temporary installation of Windows.
• <MYDIR> refers to the user's network directory where the user stores his or her own Windows files (this will include the *.INI and *.GRP files).

INSTALLATION STEPS

To set up the Schedule+ 1.0 shared files

1. Create the <WINTEMP> directory on the server or a local workstation, and run "setup /n" (without the quotation marks) from the <WINSHARE> directory to create a new installation of Windows in the <WINTEMP> directory.
2. Run Windows from <WINTEMP> Use the Windows File Manager to start Setup by double-clicking SETUP.EXE on the Schedule+ Program Setup Disk #2.
   
   During setup:
   
   
   1. Choose Custom Setup.
   2. When Setup prompts for the Schedule+ directory, type WINSHARE as the location. For example, type L:\WINDOWS if this is the location of the network version of Windows.
   3. When Setup asks if you want to install the Schedule+ Reminder program to load automatically, choose the No button.
   4. When Setup is complete and it asks if you want to Run Schedule+, Run Demos, or Exit To Windows, choose Exit To Windows.
   This process will install all the Schedule+ for Windows program files in the same directory as Windows and create a clean SCHDPLUS.INI file.
3. Set all files in <WINSHARE> to Read-Only. For Novell(R) networks, set the files to Shareable and Read-Only.
4. Copy SCHDPLUS.INI from <WINTEMP> to <WINSHARE>.
5. Remove <WINTEMP> (including all files and the directory).

To set up a user for Schedule+ 1.0

1. Copy SCHDPLUS.INI from <WINSHARE>to <MYDIR>.
2. In a group in the Windows Program Manager create a Microsoft Schedule+ 1.0 icon with the following properties:

         Description:       Microsoft Schedule+
         Command Line:      <WINSHARE>\SCHDPLUS.EXE
         Working Directory: <WINSHARE>
         Shortcut Key:      None
         Run Minimized      Not checked
   			

3. Modify each user's WIN.INI file to include the following setting:

         [Sounds]
         SchdplusReminder=<WINSHARE>\MSREMIND.WAV,Schedule+ Reminders
   			

4. If a user wants to be automatically reminded of scheduling messages, create an icon in the Startup group to start the file MSREMIND.EXE.
5. Verify that the <WINSHARE> directory is in the MS-DOS search path for each user.

RUNNING WINDOWS LOCALLY AND SCHEDULE+ FROM THE NETWORK

Definitions

• <WINDIR> refers to an individual user's locally installed Windows directory.
• <SCHDPLUS> refers to the Microsoft Schedule+ directory on the network server.

INSTALLATION STEPS

To set up the Schedule+ 1.0 shared files and the first user

1. Run Windows from the first user's workstation. Use the Windows File Manager to start Setup by double-clicking SETUP.EXE on the Schedule+ Program Setup Disk #2. During setup:
   
   
   1. Choose Custom Setup.
   2. When Setup prompts for the Schedule+ directory, type SCHDPLUS as the location. For example, type L:\SCHEDULE if this is the location of the network-shared copy of Schedule+.
   3. When Setup asks if you want to install the Schedule+ Reminder program to load automatically, choose the No button.
   4. When Setup is complete and it asks if you want to Run Schedule+, Run Demos, or Exit To Windows, choose Exit To Windows.
   This process will install all the Schedule+ program files and create a clean SCHDPLUS.INI file.
2. Copy the following files from the first user's workstation to <SCHDPLUS>:

         <WINDIR>\SCHDPLUS.INI
         <WINDIR>\WINHELP.EXE
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\SHELL.DLL
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\COMMDLG.DLL
   
         (Schedule+-specific DLL files:)
   
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\NVCONN.DLL
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\TRNSCHED.DLL
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\PABNSP.DLL
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\MAILMGR.DLL
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\MAILSPL.EXE
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\DEMILAYR.DLL
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\AB.DLL
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\STORE.DLL
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\FRAMEWRK.DLL
         <WINDIR>\SYSTEM\MSSFS.DLL
   			

3. Remove all the above "Schedule+-specific DLL files" from <WINDIR>\SYSTEM.

To set up additional users for Schedule+ 1.0

1. Copy SCHDPLUS.INI from <SCHDPLUS> to <WINDIR>.
2. In a group in the Windows Program Manager create a Microsoft Schedule+ 1.0 icon with the following properties:

         Description:       Microsoft Schedule+
         Command Line:      <SCHDPLUS>\SCHDPLUS.EXE
         Working Directory: <SCHDPLUS>
         Shortcut Key:      None
         Run Minimized      Not checked
   			

3. Modify each user's WIN.INI file to include the following setting:

         [Sounds]
         SchdplusReminder=<SCHDPLUS>\MSREMIND.WAV,Schedule+ Reminders
   			

4. If a user wants to be automatically reminded of scheduling messages, create an icon in the Startup group to start the file MSREMIND.EXE.
5. Place the <SCHDPLUS> directory in the MS-DOS search path for each user.
   
   NOTE: If you are using Windows version 3.0, you must replace the following file in your <WINDIR> directory with the copy found in the <SCHDPLUS> directory for the Schedule+ Help to operate properly:

         WINHELP.EXE   Windows 3.1 Help engine
