Is there a way to get the novell login to be the only login on a win2000 workstation, currently you have to login with the windows login first than login to novell. Can anyone help

You'll need to go into Start - Settings - Network Connections and open up whichever connection settings has the Windows & Novell Logins. First, verify what protocol you're using for Novell. Is it IPX/SPX or TCP/IP? If the Novell is older than version 5.0, it's probably IPX/SPX. At which point you'll be able to uninstall the TCP/IP protocol. If it's TCP/IP, then you'll have to change the binding order of your network client. You should have your Client for Microsoft Network and your Clientfor Novell Network (may not be worded exactly right). If you can't delete the Microsoft client, then you'll need to change the binding order properties so Novell is on top of the list and Microsoft is under it. This should enable you to log into Novell first and cancel out of the Windows login.

You MUST be logged in as Administrator on the local computer to do this or have a Domain Admin account or higher in order to accomplish this. Also, check with the rest of the IT department to verify you won't be messing anything up. There may be a business reason why both logins are on the computer which will prevent you from nixing one in favor of the other.
