Yes I am using Zen 4 for this. Biggest improvement over older releases
is that it is "aware" of when the user is on a terminal services
session. So you don't have to do a bunch of voodoo to keep the policy
away from non-TS users and vice versa. Citrix has an excellent
whitepaper on this (document ID CTX101898) Brian Madden's book also has
a good chapter on this very subject.
Also the Novell Client v4.83SP2 seems to be much more stable on a TS
server than versions I have used in the past.
The clincher for us going ahead with this was the ability to passthu
NDS credentials using the PN Agent. Confronting users with another
login screen doesn't play well.

Have you tried Zen4 yet. It has much improved Terminal services
support.
We did an implementation with Zen3.2 last year for a client and it
worked but there was a lot of mucking around you had to do to get it to
work properly. We had to escelate numerous calls to Novell for support
as there was lots of issues encountered.
Im about to start an implementation for a large client running Zen 4 so
I will be very interested to see how much easier it is. So from the prep
work done it looks good.

The point of DLU (I think) is to displace the need for Active
Directory
anything. You use NDS (eDirectory) instead. The Citrix farm could
just
be in a simple Windows workgroup vs. Active Directory tree. The
roaming
profile controlled by Zenworks can be stored in the users Novell
home
directory or any networked drive accessible by the user. There is
no
need for creating the user in the local SAM as it is done by DLU on
the
fly.
I haven't attempted to run a mixed Novell/Zenworks and Microsoft
AD
environment so I can't really speak to how or if it works. I
suspect you
would need a tool like DirXML or Metadirectory services to sync up
the 2
directory services otherwise you would have to manually sync user
ID's
and passwords (unrealistic with real security and real users).
Anyone
on the list done this? I wouldn't mind hearing about your
experiences.

Ok, thaks for your response, but if i use DLU user volatile, can i
use
roaming profile and mantain working the farm such as Windows 2000
=
Active
Directory integration? The roaming profiles can be read from a
share =
whitout
users in local SAM?
Thanks
