I'm inferring from this that your users have Windows passwords as well,
but that they're not being changed at the same time as your NDS password.
Is that correct?
In fact the novell client changes the windows passwords automatically in
order to make windows login automatic. This is the root of the problem
because now the windows password that gets shipped to the server is
incorrect and the drive map doesn't happen.
If I recall correctly, the user is prompted for which passwords to change
at this point. Can you train them _not_ to change the one being used for
your Win2003 box?
But that's the problem- it doesn't change that one. If there is a way to
get it to change the windows password on both the client as well as on
the Win2003 box, I'm all eyes.
Ok, you've lost me here. Please re-describe exactly what it is that is
happening, what isn't happening, and what it is that you're trying to
accomplish here.
From your previous description, it sounded like you have person Bob.Bob has an account in your eDirectory tree. Bob has a local machine
account on a Windows workstation. And Bob and all of your other people
are sharing a guess account that gives them access to this new Win2003
server you're talking about.
Right? Wrong?
When Bob's password expires (in eDirectory), he changes it from old-password
to new-password. That much is ok.
From your previous description, you were saying that the password on theshared guest account for access to the Win2003 box is also being changed,
at which time nobody else in the office can use the box anymore.
Yes? No?
What version of NetWare are you using? What service pack is installed?
If you don't know, go to the console and type "version" at the prompt.
Post the results.
Client is 4.83 SP3 and 4.90 SP2
That's the client version. I'm interested in the server version.
Not sure and don't use it. Does something like "6.2" sound right?
No.
Like I said, go to the server console. It'll have a prompt something like
"MYSERVER:" on it. If you're seeing some other screen there, press Ctrl-Esc
to bring up the screens menu, then press Esc to get to the console. Once
you get there, type the word "version" and hit return. Copy down the text
that results from this, and post it here.
