I work at a college. Does anyone know of a way to set Windows 2K/XP to allow multiple users to log in to Novell and the local PC without having to set up an account for each user at each PC? We are running a Novell network without a Windows domain, and would like to upgrade the student PC's to 2K/XP.

1. Make sure you download the newest Novell Client 4.83 (for XP)

As to the various users, the only way is to create a generic user, such as "student" that everyone uses.

The answer, unfortunately, is one that you have already figured out: no, you have to have a local machine account.

If you are using NetWare 4.11 and higher you can use ZEN-Works from Novell, it's ship free with NetWare 4.11/5.X/6.0. You can configure that on NetWarelogin, a temporary NT/W2K user will created at the NetWarelogin.
