Schedule +  7.0x   (Chinese - Simplified)

Product Summary
Product: Schedule + Version: 7.0x Category:Compliant#
Language: Chinese - Simplified OS: 16-Bit Win Release Date: 01 Aug 1995
Operational Range: 01 Jan 1900 - 31 Dec 2999
Prerequisites: None
Product Dependencies: Windows 3.1x,
Clock Dependencies: Operating System Clock
Last Updated: 07 Jul 1999
Product Details

Operating system: Windows 3.x, Winows 95, Windows NT

Description of how the product handles dates:

Storage. All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data. Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

When the system clock’s short date format (Control Panel Regional Settings) is set to display a 2-digit year, the application’s user interface allows only 2-digit entries. All such entries are parsed into 1980 through 2079. When the system clock’s short date format is set to display a 4-digit year, the application’s user interface allows only 4-digit entries. Under such setting, if the user types in a 4-digit entry, there is no ambiguity. But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system’s short date format to mm/dd/yyyy. The application’s user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years. The user types in only a 2-digit "23". In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits. When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923". If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits. All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel). If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:

Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000. They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000. All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits. When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923". If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits. All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel). If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:

Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000. They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000. All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

Product: Schedule + Version: 7.0x Category:Compliant#

Description of how the product handles dates:
Storage.  All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data.  Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.  

Two-digit shortcut handling:
When the system clock's short date format (Control Panel Regional Settings) is set to display a 2-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 2-digit entries.  All such entries are parsed into 1980 through 2079. When the system clock's short date format is set to display a 4-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 4-digit entries.  Under such setting, if the user types in a 4-digit entry, there is no ambiguity. But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system's short date format to mm/dd/yyyy.  The application's user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years.  The user types in only a 2-digit "23".  In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits.  When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923".  If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits.  All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Product Summary
Product: Schedule + Version: 7.0x Category:Compliant#
Language: Italian OS: 16-Bit Win Release Date: 01 Aug 1995
Operational Range: 01 Jan 1900 - 31 Dec 2999
Prerequisites: None
Product Dependencies: Windows 3.1x
Clock Dependencies: Operating System Clock
Last Updated: 16 Aug 1999
Product Details


Description of how the product handles dates:
Storage.  All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data.  Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.  

Two-digit shortcut handling:
When the system clock's short date format (Control Panel Regional Settings) is set to display a 2-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 2-digit entries.  All such entries are parsed into 1980 through 2079. When the system clock's short date format is set to display a 4-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 4-digit entries.  Under such setting, if the user types in a 4-digit entry, there is no ambiguity. But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system's short date format to mm/dd/yyyy.  The application's user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years.  The user types in only a 2-digit "23".  In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits.  When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923".  If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits.  All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel).  If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:
Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits.  Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back.  In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000.  They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000.  All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

Description of how the product handles dates:
Storage.  All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data.  Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.  

Two-digit shortcut handling:
When the system clock's short date format (Control Panel Regional Settings) is set to display a 2-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 2-digit entries.  All such entries are parsed into 1980 through 2079. When the system clock's short date format is set to display a 4-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 4-digit entries.  Under such setting, if the user types in a 4-digit entry, there is no ambiguity. But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system's short date format to mm/dd/yyyy.  The application's user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years.  The user types in only a 2-digit "23".  In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits.  When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923".  If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits.  All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel).  If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:
Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits.  Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back.  In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000.  They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000.  All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

When the system clock’s short date format (Control Panel Regional Settings) is set to display a 2-digit year, the application’s user interface allows only 2-digit entries. All such entries are parsed into 1980 through 2079. When the system clock’s short date format is set to display a 4-digit year, the application’s user interface allows only 4-digit entries. Under such setting, if the user types in a 4-digit entry, there is no ambiguity. But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system’s short date format to mm/dd/yyyy. The application’s user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years. The user types in only a 2-digit "23". In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits. When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923". If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits. All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel). If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:

Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000. They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000. All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system’s short date format to mm/dd/yyyy. The application’s user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years. The user types in only a 2-digit "23". In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits. When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923". If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits. All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel). If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:

Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000. They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000. All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

Description of how the product handles dates:

Storage. All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data. Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.

But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system’s short date format to mm/dd/yyyy. The application’s user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years. The user types in only a 2-digit "23". In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits. When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923". If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits. All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel). If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:

Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000. They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000. All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

Prerequisites

An Office 95 Year 2000 update is now available. For more detailed information and to download this update please go to http://www.microsoft.com/taiwan/download/office.htm.

Description of how the product handles dates:

Storage. All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data. Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

When the system clock’s short date format (Control Panel Regional Settings) is set to display a 2-digit year, the application’s user interface allows only 2-digit entries. All such entries are parsed into 1980 through 2079. When the system clock’s short date format is set to display a 4-digit year, the application’s user interface allows only 4-digit entries. Under such setting, if the user types in a 4-digit entry, there is no ambiguity. But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system’s short date format to mm/dd/yyyy. The application’s user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years. The user types in only a 2-digit "23". In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits. When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923". If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits. All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel). If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:

Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Storage. All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data. Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.

Product Details

Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers’ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain Office 95 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

If you have Schedule+ 95 (7.0x) that was installed as part of Office 95, an Office 95 Year 2000 patch is now available that corrects all known Year 2000 related issues in the applications used in Office 95. For more detailed information and to download this patch please go to http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/articles/O95y2kfactsheet.htm.

If you have Schedule+ 7.0x that was not installed as part of Office 95, a similar update is available from Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q197195.

Description of how the product handles dates:

Storage. All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data. Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.

2-digit shortcut handling:

When the system clock's short date format (Control Panel Regional Settings) is set to display a 2-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 2-digit entries. All such entries are parsed into 1980 through 2079. When the system clock's short date format is set to display a 4-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 4-digit entries. Under such setting, if the user types in a 4-digit entry, there is no ambiguity. But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system's short date format to mm/dd/yyyy. The application's user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years. The user types in only a 2-digit "23". In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits. When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923". If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits. All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

The update from the Office 95 Year 2000 patch or the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q197195 changes the 2-digit shortcut behavior to the expected results, parsing 2-digit years using the range 1980-2079.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel). If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:

Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000. They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000. All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

The update from the Office 95 Year 2000 patch or the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q197195 changes the 2-digit shortcut behavior to the expected results, parsing 2-digit years using the range 1980-2079.

Note that all of the above explanation applies only when a user types in a 2-digit entry while being prompted for a 4-digit one (as set in Control Panel). If the Control Panel system setting is set to use a 2-digit year for short dates, which is the operating system default, year entries are always parsed to 1980 through 2079.

Common date usage errors:

Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000. They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000. All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

Product Summary
Product: Schedule + Version: 95/7.0x Category:Compliant*
Language: Polish OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: 01 Aug 1995
Operational Range: 01 Jan 1900 - 31 Dec 9999
Prerequisites: See below
Product Dependencies: Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, or Windows NT 4.0

Product Details

Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers’ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain Office 95 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

If you have Schedule+ 95 (7.0x) that was installed as part of Office 95, an Office 95 Year 2000 patch is now available that corrects all known Year 2000 related issues in the applications used in Office 95. For more detailed information and to download this patch please go to

http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/poland/downloadDetails/O95y2k.htm.

If you have Schedule+ 7.0x that was not installed as part of Office 95, a similar update is available from Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q197195.

Description of how the product handles dates:

Storage. All dates in Microsoft Schedule+ are stored as sixteen bit integers, never with a two-digit year value. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data. Schedule+ uses the display options set under Regional Settings in the Windows Control Panel to determine the display and entry mode for dates.

2-digit shortcut handling:

When the system clock's short date format (Control Panel Regional Settings) is set to display a 2-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 2-digit entries. All such entries are parsed into 1980 through 2079. When the system clock's short date format is set to display a 4-digit year, the application's user interface allows only 4-digit entries. Under such setting, if the user types in a 4-digit entry, there is no ambiguity. But if the user types in a 2-digit entry with the user interface prompting for a 4-digit year, those 2-digit entries will become 19xx.

For example, the user sets the system's short date format to mm/dd/yyyy. The application's user interface shows a 4-digit entry box for years. The user types in only a 2-digit "23". In the user interface, the user sees "0023" because they did not fill in the other 2 digits. When they <tab> off the field, they see that the application turns the "0023" into "1923". If this is not the year the user intended, they can then change it by typing in all 4 digits. All of this is displayed in the user interface so it does not mislead the user into thinking the 2-digit entry meant something else.

Two-digit shortcuts are supported past the year 2000 only if the date display option for Regional Settings in the Control Panel of the operating system is set for two digits. Microsoft recommends use with display of full four digits, suspending two-digit entry.

Testing guidelines and recommendations:

In general, avoid testing in a production environment because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. In testing this product, customers should set server and client clocks to December 31st, 1999, then add and modify various appointments, tasks, and events that are in the year 1999 as well as in the future past January 1st, 2000. They should then let the system clocks roll over to the year 2000. All reminders and appointment/task/event manipulations should function correctly, both before and after the rollover.

Services for Netware  4.0   (English)

Product Summary
Product: Services for Netware Version: 4.0 Category:Compliant*
Language: English OS: Win NT Release Date: N/A
Operational Range: -
Prerequisites: Installation of SAP Agent before setup of File and Print for NetWare
Product Dependencies: Spooler
Clock Dependencies: Time stamps for file/account creation, expiration of accounts
Last Updated: 29 Sep 1999
Product Details

Product components:

Microsoft Services for NetWare is comprised of File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) and Directory Service Manager for NetWare (DSMN).

How the product handles dates:

Product utilizes dates to maintain current status of accounts, including (however not limited to): login/logout times, account expiration dates, restricted login times, file creation dates.

FPNW Testing guidelines and recommendations:

It is recommended that Year 2000 tests be performed across clients that will be accessing the noted FPNW servers. Year 2000 testing on FPNW is essentially based on the concept of setting the current date on the FPNW server to a noted Year 2000 test scenario date, upon which various date-related tests can be performed to determine any issues relating to the product’s date handling characteristics.

Below is a listing of potential tests:

FPNW Setup:

  • Install / Uninstall FPNW: Confirm that the service can be installed properly on the scenario test dates, and that the service can be started without error. Installation of FPNW tools should also be tested.

Login/Logout:

  • Client ability to login to/log out of server. Clients being used in the test should be able to access the server and allow the user to log in.
  • Confirm the expected dates are shown in the login / logout time stamps on the various clients. The 16-bit logout.exe utilized by FPNW states the user’s login and logout times in regards to the connection to the server. The displayed times should display as expected when tested under the scenario test dates.

File and Folder Creation/Deletion:

  • Confirm full functionality of file copy (up to server / down to client machine), file creation, deletion, and renaming. Confirm that timestamps are created and displayed correctly. This would involve testing both in a GUI environment as well as in an MS-DOS environment. The same tests can be applied to directories/folders.

FPNW Administrative Programs Functionality:

  • Confirm functionality of FPNW-related GUI applications. These tests would include confirming that FPNW-related programs execute without error, and that user interfaces function and display as expected. GUI applications that utilize the date should show the current date properly. This would include testing FPNW properties under Server Manager, the Active Directory Manager snap-in NetWare Compatible properties page, and the Local User Manager NetWare Compatible properties page.
  • User Accounts: Confirm that user accounts can be created, modified, and deleted on the scenario test dates. This should be tested across available administrative programs.
  • Current 16-bit Administrative Applications: Confirm that accessible 16-bit administrative applications and utilities work as expected (attach, capture, chgpass, endcap, login, logout, map, setpass, slist, etc.).
  • Account expiration dates expire the account/password. Users should not be able to log in when the account has been disabled, and the expiration date falls under one of the scenario test dates. User expiration dates can be administered through the Active Directory Manager snap-in NetWare Compatible properties page and the Local User Manager NetWare Compatible properties page.

Print Functionality:

  • Functionality of print servers. Confirm that buttons/functions under the Server Manager / FPNW / Print Servers menu work as expected. Confirm that print servers can be installed and removed, and that FPNW server can handle print jobs sent to the installed FPNW print servers.

Testing guidelines and recommendations for Directory Service Manager for NetWare:

It is also recommended that Year 2000 tests be performed on Novell bindery that will be migrated to Windows NT servers. Year 2000 testing is essentially based on the concept of setting the dates on the Novell server bindery objects to noted Year 2000 test scenario dates, upon which various date-related tests can be performed to determine any issues relating to the product’s date handling characteristics.

Below is a list of potential tests:

  • Client ability to login to/log out of server. Migrated Novell clients being used in the test should be able to access the Windows NT server and allow the user to log in.
  • User Accounts: Confirm that user accounts can be created, modified, and deleted on the scenario test dates. This should be tested across available administrative programs (User Manager)
  • Account expiration dates expire the account/password. Users should not be able to log in when the migrated account has been disabled, and the expiration date falls under one of the scenario test dates.
