Windows 2000

Your biggest problem is going to be your usernames and passwords, there are three common solutions to this:

1. Setup seperate usernames and passwords on the 2000 server (I would not recommend doing this but it is the cheapest option)

2. Novellused to have a package called NDS for NT which I believe is now called eDirectory, this will synchronise your usernames and passwords between the two servers allowing you to manage ALL your usernames and passwords in NDS

3. There is another product called Synchonicity for NT which does the same thing as eDirectory

Once this is done all you have to do is setup IPX on the 2000 server (installing the Novell client on the server will do this automatically).

Good luck.

The issues you face will be largely dependent on the application installed. Most client server apps requiring NT also require TCP/IP.

Most often, the client side software for the application will handle the authentication without requiring much on the client side except a host file entry or a DNS server entry which allows the workstation to locate the server via TCP/IP.

Start first by speaking with the application creator to confirm requirements.

I am also facing the same situation soon. If I come up with any solutions that work well, I will post them out here.
