rate1 NDPS = C:\WINDOWS \SYSTEM\dpmw32.exe Novell’s distributed print services.   Stefan
rate1 Installs as part of the Novell client for Windows - NDPS stands for Novell Distributed Print Services and it allows b-directional comms between the workstation and network printers.  See also: Link   Paul Bennett
rate1 A part aof Novell' Print Service   Michael
rate1 what other's already know, a novell thingie.... i'm just guessing, that it only shows when novell client is installed and/or in use!!   Denn!s
rate1 It is in the Novell Client   Matthias
rate1 NDPS is a great tool! If your NetWare enviroment does not use it it should. Just another great product from Novell  See also: Link   Greg Brown
rate2 IF it is running then you cannot ping to the machine.   subrata
rate1 This is part of Novells NDPS Print Services   Thomas Simmons
rate1 This is Novell NDPS, issue arises with XP SP2 firewall and security some Workstations throw up a error, unblocking fixes the issue.   Paul
rate1 This is part of Novells NDPS Print Services. If you use NDPS you need it - if you don't - you don't   Trevor
rate1 Standard process for printing in a Netware NDPS environment. Very handy!   Wayne Lunsford
rate0 Microsoft hates novell, thus service pack 2!   Randy
rate1 Doesn't impact ping (4.9 Sp2)   Mark Stevens
rate4 This file is used at some schools to trace what their students do online   yr10 student
rate1 Innocuous. It does not do anything of any real value, unless you need it. If you are using the NDPS, you need it, and you should leave it alone. If not, it's small, so leave it alone anyway.   Twitch

rate3 if you run fidelio hotel managment systems and you disable this executable, you will experience problems with your interface   paul smith
rate4 It tries to act as a server. So it´s not so good...   Newba
rate1 Part of Novell print service   Andrew
rate1 Uncheck the NDPS option when installing client if not using NDPS   Bryan
rate1 Only for NDPS. Nothing dangerous.  
rate1 This is part of the Novell Distributed Print Services, which allows netwerk printing and also supports software tools for printing registration and printing Management Information Systems which support Novell Netware  See also: Link   Dracko
rate1 Novell Distributed Print Servce, not harmful at all   SUAndrewG
rate1 This is NOT used to trace where students go, it is a print service nothing more.   WindsorFox
rate2 constantly makes our Win98se workstations hang. Wish the "powers that be" would approve XP for our agency already   WinDOZE98
rate1 Soft fussy bunnies - nothing to be afraid of   Eldar
rate1 Corporate environment -- needed for NDPS  
rate1 DPMW32.EXE is what allows Novell NDPS printers to be deployed to your workstation automatically from a centrally managed location. The technology makes printer management, from an administrators perspective, easy. For end users, you automatically receive the printers that are assigned to you. No hassles or manual installs. Remove this and your printers will stop working.  See also: Link   Marvin Huffaker, Novell Master CNE
rate1 service pack 2 attempts to block this, but as an environment that uses novell and windows it is a necessary system.   thefirebuilds
rate1 Novell's printing methodology before iPrint that many Novell shops still have in some production since iPrint didn't reproduce all NDPS's functionality until recently in OES2   Andy Konecny
