I work for an agency that is a part of a larger group. However, we are
separate, both in function and physically. For the most part we are separate
from them. Since our function is unique and due to the fact that we have to
satisfy funding requirements that are separate from the larger organization, we
have separate things like our own network, etc.
But, we're still a part of the larger organization, which also means that our
payroll comes through them. They use a product called Kronos, for clocking in
and out. In our case, we used a web browser in order to clock in and out.
Well, they have changed the means by which this authentication occurs, and now
we have to have an account on their network (which we never have needed
before). I just spoke with some of their network techs and they told us that
we have to have both a Novell NetWare and Citrix account. Furthermore, they
said that we need to add their WINS server to our Windows 2000 servers, in
order to make it possible for Kronos to authenticate us.
I don't know how that is going to work. How do we point to a server that is
not on our network, and make it an auxiliary WINS server? And what about our
own network and all of our external customers, who do not have accounts on
their system and never will (they are not employees of this organization).

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you know,
in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to scaling
up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to
overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
