I have recently made the Client For Microsoft
Networks the primary logon for my Win95 clients.
This was done so we can authenticate to the
Win2000 server that is running our Finance
software. We created each user with the same
username andpassword so that they pass through
the netware logon. We have discovered that our
roaming profiles are not being updated or brought
down after this change. Anyone have a clue why or
how to resolve this?

Thank you,

Bob

Your profiles are downloaded to the client at time of authentication. You used the same username/password I'm assuming for the resources on the Netware server and probably everything works fine, but your authentication process doesn't poll your other network servers to see if there is a profile do download. You have a couple of options to try. I'm shooting from the hip on this one so you'll have to play. You could specify in a policy to update any roaming profile from a specific server (your Novell server). Another option, and again I've never played with this, is to use Novell's Single signon.
