Install NT workstations. Install the Novell Client for NT.
Install Novell's Workstation Manager on the server.
Enable the workstation to use the NDS tree for
configurations.
This extends NDS to allow a lot of functionality,
including the ability to create accounts on the local
workstations on the fly. And profiles can be stored
on the Netware server.
Just did this in Texas and it works like a champ.
No NT server required, central account administration,
roaming profiles, point and click printing.
Sees exactly what the customer wants.
