Networks
We have NetWare v5.1/SP3a Servers with NDS eDirectory v85.27c, using both IP and IPX protocols.
We need to change to a Pure IP environment. If we remove IPX protocols from all the Netware Servers, will this affect my NDS eDirectory function?
Example: Patition sync. and LDAP funtion.

no, that shouldn't have any affect.
though you may want to look at SLP, depending on how your network is set up you may have trouble resolving names of servers if you don't have at least 1 da. Also if your clients are on a different network you where multicasts arn't broadcasted to, you may want to add the DA in their client settings.

eDirectory is independent of the protocol running on the servers. Obviously the servers need to be able to communicate for eDirectory to function, but it doesn't matter what protocol is used.
If you want a pure IP environment then you either need to allow all multicast traffic through your routers or setup SLP. SLP is very easy to configure and the default works great. If you have a large tree and network you may want to configure SLP so that you have more control over it, but the default will work fine.
The clients will have to be reconfigured as well so that they know the IP address of the DA as well as the name of the scope that is hosted on the DA.
