Can Novell & SBS2003 Co-exist?

by clifford.tkw . Updated 20 years, 10 months ago

Our company uses the Novell server for the last 6 years. Recently, we decided to migrate to SBS2003 and are in transition phase.

Unfortunately, the Novell server will need to be around for another 1-2 years due to a legacy financial application. So users need to login with Novell, then to MS SBS2003 to get into the server’s resources.

What the user’s experience was many task, including login has slow down drastically. Eg, saving a word document file would take 5-10 mins looking for a default folder.

I decided to take a step further by removing all novell client and related protocol from my computer, and purely live on Microsoft. All problems disappear immediately.

Can anyone advice if there are any settings/configuration, or steps I can look into so the 2 can work nicely together?

Your help is much appreciated. thanks
