Novell directory services & Active direc

I'll point you to Novell's answer to that question. It's obviously biased in their favor, but their track record is well documented.

And the question really should be reversed. Relatively speaking, AD has been on the market for far less time than NDS, and is far less mature.

NDS has been around much longer and, having used both, has better functionality and management facilities (partitioning etc).

I agree your question should be reversed. I have been working with NetWare Directory Services since it was introduced as part of NetWare version 4.0 in early 1993. At that time it only ran on the NetWare platform. In the last couple of years Novell has changed the name to eDirectory. edirectory will run on multiple platforms, including Windows. Active Directory has a long way to go before it can claim what edirectory can claim.
