I'm a newbie to the W2K world (currently Novell minded) and would like everyone's help. I've been given the task to redesigning our entire network operating system. We have a total of 3 Novell servers (1 server has it's own domain and the other 2 serve another). I've managed to incorporate an Exchange w/AD and DHCP server into the mix and has run fine for the past 4 months, 1 year respectively. My question to all is: What advice can you give for setting up this new network, how to handle active directory and dns? My test environment seems to have flaws. All help is appreciated. Thanks.

You seem to be taking the correct steps to help you in the redesign process of your networking environment. My advice would be to try and understand why there are flaws in your lab environment and how to correct them. Troubleshooting your lab environment will give give you and insight to possible problems you can expect to see in the future and the wherewithall to put it right. It would also be prudent to get trained in w2k so you have an insight to how it all links together.

Best of luck

OK. I think my test environment is working itself out. Just one more question.... How do I maintain user settings (desktop, my docs, etc) when adding a user to the domain? Currently when I logon to domain the desktop is reset.(It only saves changes made afterward). I have many users with win2k stations and would hate to have them redo their settings. Thanks.
