Most of my users log into Novell and NT (from Win95). The primary network login is Novell NetWare Client. We have a few users that don't need to login to Novell. How do I disable the Novell login prompt without removing client 32?

I have changedthe primary logon to Client for Microsoft Networks but they are still prompted for their Novell password. They are able to cancel past the Novell logon but it is an annoyance. I would like to still be able to manually logon to Novell. The Novell client we are using is version 3.21.0.0

We don't do dual logins, (Novell only), but the client is very configurable. I believe if you right click on the red "N" on the start bar, and do client properties, the options you need will be there. You can also get there by right clicking network neighborhood.
(This is assuming these options haven't previously been turned off)

I already checked their. I checked the Advanced Settings tab but I don't see one that disables the Novell logon when you log onto windows. What do I change?

If the primary network login (under Network Settings) is not set something other than Novell, you should be able to turn off "Force Login Dialog" from the "advanced menu settings" tab.

Try this Dan,

1. Open "Network" icon in control panel.
2. Double-click the Netware Client protocol.
3. From the "Client" page, delete any server name, tree, or context shown. Make all boxes blank (Nevermind the "first network drive" box)
4. From the "Advanced Login" page, uncheck all entries in the "Show on login" section.
5. Click on "OK".
6. Ensure that the "Primary Network Logon" box on the Network "Configuration" page shows "Client for Microsoft Networks".
7. click on "OK", closingthe Network Properties window, and restart the PC.
The PC should now start with only the Microsoft Network login.

Good luck,

Make sure all your Novell drive mappings and printer captures are disconnected. Otherwise, you will see a Netware login regardless of what your "Primary Network Login" is set to.

I have disabled the client32 gui login by creating or modifying the following registry entry 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\Real Mode Net\AutoLogon'. Set the value equal to 000 00 for no login at bootup or 000 01 to login at boot up. If creating the Autologon Key right click on Real Mode Net, choose New and Binary.
