We have a mixed Netware 6 and Windows 2000/2003 network. I was wondering if
anyone has run into issues running the Novell client on Windows terminal
servers (specifically 2003)? Would it be better to run the MS client for
Netware instead? The negative side is that running the MS client for Netware
would not allow certain services (like NDPS printing) to be provided to the
user at login. I'm wondering if anyone has had issues with the NW client on
TS such as compatibility, if the NW client behaves properly & doesn't use too
many resources or have other strange issues under the TS environment. It has
been suggested that the MS client for Netware might "play better" as it is
made by Microsoft. We have not noticed an issue running the NW client on a
Windows 2000 term server. However, we've never really had more than six
simultaneous users.
