Now, i'm installing a metaframe xp farm with:
+ Novell Netware 6 (150 clients)
+ Novell client 4.83 SP2. (The only i work with it stable.)
+ 4 server MTF XP 1.0 SP2/FR2 (Can't anyone works with FR3 in a Novell
enviroment?) The 4 servers works in workgroup
+ Using Zenworks 4 for DLU policy
+ Zenworks policy for roaming profile. I reported problems storing =
profiles
in netware share.
+ I use Neoware eon 6300 (XPe) and Capio Thin clients and works fine. =
Access
to Metaframe with Nfuse (Web Interface)
+ I use various USB devices in thin clients: external hard disk, =
external
usb cd-rw, external floppy disk drive. (works fine)
=20
I have some problems that i no have idea so get a solution:
The users are created 4 times (1 per server) in local SAM.?????
If i use an Active Directory (1 controller- other machine that =
metaframe)
can i create users by DLU in AD.?????
Thanks.

1) I should have clarified, our users are primarily WAN users. No =
local
Novell client installed. Additionally we are using CSG. We are on a =
6.30
client primarily.
2) We changed the terminal server profile path and home directory to =
point
to an NT share. Essentially the Netware environment is kept off of the
terminal servers except for a few pieces like mapped drives, printer =
shares,
and an SSO app.=20
