I can confirm that the latest client (as of 2 weeks ago) is not stable -
profiles were being loaded, unloaded and then reloaded at logon
resulting in (a) very long logon times, (b) other server instability -
we got an unreleased (as of two weeks ago) patch which cured it. So
test, test and test again. You'll also need to go with contextless
logins which requires an additional dll, registry tweaks, and client
configuration. If you use nfuse (aka W.I.), you'll also need to test
further. Otherwise Novell client seems to work o.k., users will get
drive mappings that they're used to seeing - so from a user perspective
it's easier for them. That said - I'd love to get rid of it and go to a
pure MS environment.
Regards,
Alan.

The Novell client is the debbel on terminal services (w2003 RTM ,
novell 5 ) and I would suspect it is no better on citrix. If you are
going to use the novell client make sure you are at the latest (stable)
version to minimise any outages.
Having migrated off novell to pure windows AD the terminal servers have
been far more reliable.

Hello all,
We are looking to move our vet hospital toward a thin solution
using citrix. We currently use the Novel Client on computers to access
the file servers.
When we move to Citrix, how well does the Novel-Citrix
integration work?
We are planning to deploy the Microsoft Office applications,
Novel GroupWise, and our own custom written medical application.
We want to still allow users to keep their office files on the
Novel servers.
Is there a good guide to go by for setting this environment up
or any pitfalls I should be wary about?
Also, what licensing issues should we be looking out for?
Thank you in advance for any help or guidance this group can
provide.
