Greetings,



Tried to post this the other day but it doesn't show up so i'm trying again.
we are trying to get vista setup and running for the future school year,
however, we use novell client to handle user accounts, drive mappings, and
things of that nature. the problem we have is that we cannot set vista to
use the classic windows login and so far have not been able to get novell to
override and be used to login to vista and create the local user profile. we
have vista set up so that you have to type in the user name and password but
if novell does not load first the user has no local login credintials.
anyone else trying to do the same thing or have any suggestions?

You may want to check into ZENworks to see what is happening with Novell's
product for Vista. As it stands now Novell is out on Vista. I read something
that you can get Novell on Vista by using Security Policies on Vista, but
you got look, as I didn't see any how-to(s) using Google.

Your other option is use Vista or another NT based O/S with Novell on the
same machine, as a workaround.
