Follow these steps to applying the patch to your OfficeServer when the quick instructions are not desired:

REMINDER: See the help system included on the OfficeServer CD for assistance with the following steps (such as setting the root password or logging in to the server).

1. Download the patch file and save it to the "shared" folder on your server such as \\NEWLIX\\shared (see the File Server - Microsoft NetBIOS screen for your server's name if it is not NEWLIX).
   
2. Login to the server as root using telnet (for example, click Start -> Run -> telnet newlix

If you are unable to connect to the server or can not remember the password, see the System - Access Control screen and enable the "Standard shell access" option of the TCP/IP Services and set the value for the Operating system (root) password and try again.

3. Extract the patch using this command:

unzip -o /USERSPACE/shared/*.patch.zip

4. Apply the patch using this command:

./UpdateScript.nos

5. You will see many messages terminating with:

Successfully applied patch x.x.x-x

6. Type this command to terminate the telnet session:

NOTE: You may need to press ENTER first to regain the command prompt.

exit

To verify that the patch was successfully applied you should view the System - Status screen to confirm that the version number of the OfficeServer has been updated. If the version number shows "x.x.x-x+", then there was an error applying the patch. You should try to re-apply the patch and if it still fails, contact us for support.
