I have a windows 2000 server that autologons with administrator. The server has a nic card. This is a vendor provided server with their financial application. Adding a microsoft client for netware, a novell client or GSNW is out of the question.

Problem: We need to integrate this server into our novell network.I can see all our network severs and connect to them. The user needs to save excel spreadsheets to our novell network. I can show the user how to go to nework neighborhood and map a drive. He will then be prompted for his novell login and password. I don't want the user to do this. Is there anyway to prompt the user for his novell username and password after the desktop comes up? If a login script is suggested, please tell me where to place it since this is a MEMBER server and not one with active directory or on a domain. Thank you.

why is Adding a microsoft client for netware, a novell client or GSNW is out of the question.? since thats the way to do it, pls explain. !!

That server needs to be integrated into your network ,so the vendor has to understand that too, and without that I can imagine it won't do you (and him) any good. Adding a client protocol won't do any harm to my knowledge.

A possible solution solution is to make the windows and the novell accounts the identical(name+ password).
