When using CSNW on a novell 4.11 network I can assess directories once then never again untill I reboot, the error message is Cannot find, file has been moved or renamed. Although I can access other directories fine. I do not want to put Novell Client 4.81 on these machines since we are migrating from Novell.

Sorry, but my experience with 4.11 and windows clients is that the Windows client services are garbage. I had to conclude that the purpose of this was to make Netware look bad. Go on, install the Novell client!!! You will see the advantages of the Novess Directory services environment, and it is rock solid! Don'e ever expect MS AD to do what Novell can - I've seen both and AD doesn't do what 4.11 could out of the box.

Otherwise, check Novell's website, again, MS won't fix compatability / interface issues without a gun to their head. Novell will 'cause it's their rep on the line, here.

IMHO you're putting the cart before the horse. Eliminate NetWare infrastructure, THEN eliminate the Novell client. I know you don't want to hear it -- I didn't either -- but as much of a PITA as installing the Novell client is, not doing so is worse.

It is a very small training issue to educate users that no longer need NetWare to click the "Workstation only" checkbox when logging in.

I hope someone else can get you out of your immediate jam.
