We have a primary Novell server for all employee logins. They use NT Workstations to log onto the network. I have set up a separate NT Server to try and find a way to make roaming profiles work. What configuration issues are needed on both the NT server and the client PCs? Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this matter.

The better answer would be to download and install the free ZENworks component from Novell, which allows you to manage and support roving profiles through NDS. With current Novell clients and the client component called workstation manager, the profiles can be stored in the user's home directories on the Novell server (4.11 and up). You can also enforce policies with the workstation manager.

The only other way to do it given your scenario would be to make NT your primary login and map drivesto Novell resources from the NT login script.

Thanks for the answer. I was afraid I would hear that ZENworks is the only solution without going to full NT logins.
