This section describes how to configure Atomwide's NT Filer for use in a Topcat system. It applies to Topcat Version 1.4 onwards. The instructions assume you are using NTfiler 1.29 or later version. !NTFilerCopy the application into the following folder:
!NTFiler !RunTCFiler provides the default Logon and Server icons in Topcat. If you are replacing Topcat's !TCFiler with !Ntfiler, and you are using NTFiler version 1.39 or earlier you will need to add the following two lines to the !Run file in the !NTFiler folder (just before the final Run command):
(Note the "." at the end of the above line.) For NTFiler version 1.40 or later it is not necessary to add these lines. !NTConfigIn the 'Dummy user' field in the 'When off' box enter:
where <password> is the armuser's password. In the 'Command to Execute' field in the 'At logon' box enter the command:
In the ''Command to Execute' field in the 'At logoff' box enter the command:
In the 'Shared Areas' section, the mounts Armboot and Server should be set up as follows:
UsersFor the existing user Topcat and when adding users using User Manager for Domains you must explicitly allocate the user's home directory using the Profile button. Either share the user’s home directory or a mount point above it and enter the path to the user's home directory. It should be stated as a UNC path (\\server\share\path) in the Connect To.. section of the profile (rather than a local path). For the Topcat system user, the detail to enter in the "Home Directory" section is: Topcat: Connect Z: to \\<server name>\Topcat$ where Z: is the drive letter to be allocated to the user's home directory when in Windows, and Topcat$ is the share name of Topcat's home directory.
If you haven't shared individual users' home directories, but have shared instead the parent folder, then put the path in as appropriate. eg:
User1: Connect Z: to \\<server name>\Users$\User1 (you can use %username% instead of User1 for multiple users) NB: Do not set a Home Directory for users ArmBoot or ArmUser - if you do, then a No Such Connection error will result. Starting NTFilerFor Topcat version 1.4 with Patch 6a or earlier: If you wish to replace the default !TCFiler with NTFiler, in the Armboot.!Boot.ROxxxHook.Boot.Desktop files, comment out the line:
(by inserting a pipe (|) character at the start of the line) and add the following line:
in its place (it assumes you have saved !NTfiler in the Armboot.!Boot.Resources directory). You will then need to delete all the IDxxxxx folders in the Armboot.!Boot.Mchconfig directory and re-boot the client devices in order for the changes to take effect. For Topcat version 2.0 or later: Place the following line into your local Settings file (in the Armboot.Tcconfig.Local folder):
Then on the next re-boot of the client machines, they will use NTFiler instead of TCFiler.
