I would like AD users to be able to access shared ressources (mapping a drive for exemple)on the Netware 6 server wihtout having to enter a username/password and with no Netware client installation on their computer.

All computers and servers on my network are members of AD. There is only 1 Netware server. My knowledge of Netware is limited.

Built into NW6 is somthing called Native file access.It allows use of the client software of different machines(Windoze ,Macs) to access NW6 without a full Novell client.There is a small footprint client (couple of megs )that does get loaded,but it is tranparent to the user.It is kind of a redirector to the Novell box.

Here is a url for the documentation.(watch out for extra spaces added by these forums when you cut and paste)

If you have upgrade protection for NW6 ,there is a syncing product that comes with NW6.5 for free called a Dirxml connector for AD.Essentially it can sync users and passwords between AD and Edir giving you a single sign on experience.
