Hello all

1. An active directory network where all user authenticates.

2. A single Netware 6 server.

I have installed the server as being part of the AD. DNS and WINS entries have been created for the Netware server. I have created users on Netware that are similar (name and passwords) to some on AD.

I really know next to nothing about Netware.

What I want to dois: I need to be able to map a drive from the Netware server on a client computer without having to supply a username/password. No netware client should have to be installed on client computers.

Is this possible? If so could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks to all who can help.

With Netware 6+ you don't NEED the client installed, however you do lose some functionality (unable to run login scripts etc.).
In the case of Netware as a server attached to AD, even though you don't NEED a client on the workstation, you will still need to enter a simple password when accessing the files.

If you want to eliminate the constant passowrd request, you'll need to run a client and login scripts.

Better still, why don't you turn the Windows boat anchor server into a Netware server and win, win?
