I am using novell netware 5.0 and want to have a windows 2000 server on our network as well.

How to i get my users that currently log into the novell servers to access data and programs from the 2000 server as well.

1) create the userid's and passwords on the Windows server. It's best to make them identical to what's used on the Netware server

2) decide what you want to share on the Win2K server & share it -- quite easy to do: right click in the folder and choose "Sharing". Be warned: by default, Windows assigns full rights to a folder to all users.

3) make sure the "client for microsoft windows" is loaded on the workstations, and is set for the same workgroup or domain as the WIn2K server

4) During login, the user may get prompted a second time for a user name and password to connect to the windows network. If the netware & Windows userid and passwords match, this should only happen once.

5) Users can browse the network neighborhood tofind resources on the Win2K server. You can also right-click on the network neighborhood and choose "map a network drive". Browse to the share & mark the check box that sez "reconnect at logon", then click OK.

Step 5 can be replaced by a Windows login script as well.

I've been told that eDirectory for Win2000 does *not* provide account synchronization between netware and Win2000, that you need to also have a product called "Novell Account Management".

I'm looking into a 3rd party product called Synchronicity (http://netvision.com/ products/syncnt.html , remove spaces as needed) that seems to work pretty well.
