SYMPTOM

The ability to rebuild a remote desktop was not included with

Apple's System 7 Operating System.

With NetWare for Macintosh

2.x and 3.x, you must rebuild the desktop using one of two

following options:

Option 1:

Rebuild the desktop from a System

6.x Macintosh workstation or a System 7.x workstation booted with

a System 6.x System diskette.

Option 2:

Rebuild the desktop

using the Dayna's Rebuilder utility included in REBLD.SEA file. 

(This utility also ships with Dayna's NetMounter product.)  The

Rebuilder can be used on a Macintosh workstation running the

System 6.x or 7.x operating system.

To use this utility, do the

following steps:

1.	Copy the Dayna Rebuilder utility to your

Macintosh local hard disk.

2.	Log in to the NetWare server from

your Macintosh Chooser as Supervisor and mount the volumes that

you wish to rebuild on your desktop.

3.	Launch the utility by

double-clicking on the Dayna Rebuilder icon.

4.	A dialog box

will appear on your desktop.  At this point, highlight the volume

that you wish to rebuild and click on the Rebuild button.  If you

wish to rebuild multiple volumes, hold down the <Shift> key,

highlight each volume you want to rebuild, and click on the

Rebuild button.

5.	A status bar will appear on the desktop.  A

dialog box stating that each desktop that has been successfully

built will appear when the rebuilding is complete.  For the

Finder to recognize each new Desktop, you may need to restart or

unmount and remount each rebuilt volume.

SOLUTION

Use the utility included in this file to rebuild the remote

desktop.
