Hi,

This is how I proceeded to get the console working under Windows :

* made a c:\fedora directory on my windows box and copied 
/opt/fedora-ds/java and /opt/fedora-ds/lib from red hat box to windows box
* started console on the red hat box with the -D command line option 
like Rich recommended, and obtained the full command line
* created a .BAT in my c:\fedora\java directory on the windows box

edited the .BAT to :
* modify the path to the java executable
* replace ':' in the -cp option with ';'
* replace the / in the pathes with \ (except for the admin server url)

I obtained a .BAT with that line (might be split into several lines by 
my mail client, but it's a single command line):
java -ms8m -mx64m  -cp 
.;.\nmclf70.jar;.\base.jar;.\ldapjdk.jar;.\mcc70.jar;.\nmclf70_en.jar;.\mcc70_en.jar;.\jss3.jar 
-Djava.library.path=..\lib\jss  -Djava.util.prefs.systemRoot=.\.java 
-Djava.util.prefs.userRoot=. 
com.netscape.management.client.console.Console -D  -A http://myserver:55456

(java executable is in my path and the .bat is ran from the 
c:\fedora\java directory)

working great so far

Thierry
