John,
I have been through this with SBS before, but first off I need to clarify a
few things.
Firstly, when you say you want the Novell Clients to see SBS as a Novell
server do you mean that you want the clients to be able access resources such
as data, network shares etc?
If so the only way I could get it to successfully work was to install the
Microsoft Client for Novell networks. This is not the client that comes as
part of your OS. It is a separate install / download from Microsoft. I can't
remember the exact download location but I found it by browsing Microsofts
documentation on Migration from Novell Groupwise to Windows 2003. The client
will need to be installed on the clients. I don't recommend installing it on
SBS though as it caused intermittent loss of network connectivity leaving me
no choice but to reinstall the NICS and re-run the Internet config wizard
Secondly I assume that you are running a Novell Server? Are you running
groupwise?
You will need to ensure that the clients run the Workstation (full install)
of Groupwise as opposed to the network install. Otherwise you will run into
Groupwise API problems.
I would suggest that before installing the client that you uninstall the
Novell Logon Client.
Unlike the Novell client which allows preconfig of such items as Logon
Scripts etc you will need to do this through AD profiles or login script
placed in the startup menu.
There are some other nitty grittys but this should point you in the right
direction
Not sure if this helps, but good luck..
