Setting up a 4.2 Server on Thursday and have a situaition that I am sure many have run into but not myself since most of my installs are NT. here it is I assume that NDS can only be seen if the Client is Novell 32 Client. I have some users at this firm who can not use Novell 32 client as it conflicts with a Shiva modem share product. I dont have time to find the work around for that if there is one plus the Shiva is going to be replaced soon anyway. Anyway I have these users who must use MS Novell client because of this. My big problem is I have organizational units where I obviously want to have users for certaing OU's and have the login scripting etc. I can not login with a user account that is under this OU as the MSClient is not setup to do this. IS there any way around this or is the solution to temporarly setup these few accounts so they are under the organization container - server container not sure if that is the right termonolgy but I hope you get my drift or is that the way I have to do it. I will ask the question another way in case the above is confusing. Can MS Netware client be used to access NDS to see a user who is under an organizational unit of does the user account have to reside at the root level? thanks joe

I think you have two options: 1) Assuming your clients are running Windows 95, install MS Service for NDS Networks (or words to that effect) on the client PC's; or 2) set one or more bindery contexts on your NetWare server so users can login in bindery mode. To do this, load SERVMAN and look for the bindery context settings. Help is provided there. -- Regards, Michiel Overweel michiel_overweel@nospam.rad.nl (You know what to do)

You can set the bindery context to up to 16 places. This is assuming you have a replica there. But since this sounds like a single server scenerio, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Take a look at the SYS:SYSTEM\AUTOEXEC.NCF file. You'll see soemthing like: SET BINDERY CONTEXT=....... You can add your OU at the end. Your MS client people will not be able to login. However, they will not utilze the NDS container login script. You need to cut and paste the container logins cript (Richt Click on the container, details, login script) to a file called NET$LOG.DAT. Put this file in SYS:PUBLIC. You'll need to take out any references to NDS stuff. *********** Remove the REMOVE if emailing me directly ************** Hansang Bae Director of Network Operations, Eastern Region Richey Systems Main Office: (800) 776-5145 hbae@richeysystems.com Reg.

I would like to try that service http://support.microsoft.com/download/support/mslfiles/MSNDS.EXE This is for Win 95. AFAIK, NDS support for Win 98 is built into the Microsoft client for NetWare networks. -- Regards, Michiel Overweel michiel_overweel@nospam.rad.nl (You know what to do)
