Thanks for the advice!
At the moment, there is just one Netware 4 server, and the users login
to the NDS tree with NMAS authentication, using their Netware user ID.
Using the Novell client, they login to Windows as administrator and
keep the password the same as their Netware password.
I'm planning to keep the Netware server as the main server, and use
the Windows 2003 server as an extra resource for 10 users. I probably
won't need to add any further Windows servers in future, but maybe it
would be good policy to set up a domain controller now?
Any pointers on the other things to consider would be much
appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason
