Re: Novell 3.12 Server Access for SBS 2003 clients

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Chuck

Your best bet is to use the MS client for Netware if your WS's are all XP.
IPX will not have an adverse affect on your Network at all ant the improved
MS client will run the Novell Login Scripts and everything will be cool.
Just be sure you keep the User names and passwords the same on both servers
and you will hve SSO (Single Sign On). For later versions of Novell running
IP you need to be careful with DHCP but with 3.12 you should have no issues
remember that you are running in Bindery mode only since NDS didn't arrive
until 4.x

I expected that - It has a Novell specific accounting package that they
cannot afford to change until well after I get hte SBS server installed
along
with all the desktop upgrades. Looking for this to be temporary. Besides
the novell box does what it does just fine and not many peple write
viruses
for it either. I do not care for Novell but when was the last time you
were
able to run a file server on Pentium 1 with 256 meg of ram and still have
decent performance with 30 users. When the hardware breaks I just stuff
the
SCSI card and drive in a new box and it comes up and works without going
through the rig that the new OSs make us go through.

Do you have to have this box around? Can't you migrate and cut the
cord? That has to be an old box.

Have used Gateway Services for Netware in Windows 2000. Is there a

for SBS 2003?
Is there a way to share a Novell 3.12 drive out to the SBS clients?
Want to eliminate IPX protocol on all the clients.
Can I just install the Novell client on the SBS server then share the
Novell
mapped drives as an SBS drive?
