Craig, Long time no see, or hear.....
Anyway, the Netware piece works but is not in use as much as the windows
stuff obviously. So when something breaks or doesn't work it is hard to
find help (or even good support) on it.
If you don't know novell doing this is problematic. I have a real good
novel guy on my team so it doesn't scrare me. But if I didn't I would
recommend Windows every time.
I guess the question is that if you HAVE to implement this and no one
else you still have to do what is best for the customer. If they don't
want windows use netware just be prepared to LEARN a lot.
BTW the roaming profile is assigned as a User attribute just like NT/2K
and DLU handles creating the local user and setting up profiles etc....
PS> Novell has decided netware is dead. No more development for that
network OS. Instead all of their development if for Linux. Why stay with
a dead product.

Subject: [THIN] Novell Integration
Does anyone have any thoughts about which Novell integration route is
better
-- the ZENWorks/Dynamic Local User route or the simultaneous Windows
2000
domain route with dual accounts?
I've got a school I'm working with, approximately 1500 students with the
environment holding anywhere from 150-200 concurrent sessions. We're
still
in the 'testing' phase, so we can still go either route for deployment.
My
problem with the Windows 2000/Novell route is that they're going to have
to
create two accounts for every student, we're going to have to sync/reset
all
their passwords, and they're going to have one more point of failure (if
the
DC goes down).
Honestly, I need to read up a bit more on how the ZENWorks deal works,
but
if its creating a dynamic local user, my thought is how are roaming
profiles
going to work?
Anyway, has anyone had the opportunity to take a look at both of these
pieces and examine the advantages/disadvantages to both? From the
Advanced
Guide for FR3, I saw the integration steps for them both, but if I
remember
correctly, it didn't state advantages/disadvantages to either.
Thanks in advance,
Craig
