Title: Synching NDS and AD
In response to Stuarts posting,
 
" NIM is actually bigger than just eDir and AD Sync, and it's certainly more than just a simple sync with the ability to control the flow of metadata and modify data on the fly through XSLT XML, it also includes the idea of authorative sources at an attribute level - one of the most powerful and flexible metadirectory products on the market today and one which is reasonably mature/robust.
 
If you've setup your AD structure so differently to your eDirectory structure within the same company then there's either something wrong with one of the structures or there's something wrong with you - I have never ever seen a directory structure in AD that I can't apply rules through NIM to sync with eDirectory even in instances of poor design.

Nsure Identity Manager = "Metadirectory" for all disparate NDS (Edir) and AD directories.
 
We are/have been looking at this question, and yes you can do a simple synch between Novell and AD with this product.  *BUT* in our case the OU structures between to the two directories are so disparate that a direct sync is relatively impossible.  If we end up going with this solution, we will have to project both directories to a third directory that we will write the sync rules for.  This ends up being a Metadirectory.  
 
*If* your OU structure, account ID's, etc... are fairly or exactly the same, then you can do a direct sync and end up with something "...not the size of an Identity Management Tool like MIIS". If you want a full blown Metadirectory then Novell's Nsure Indentity management is in the same category of directory products as MIIS.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a product that can acchieve the following:
* Synching NDS and AD
* 2-way synching
* Automated synching
* Possibility to assign a directory for the first sync
* Synching of user accounts, groups and passwords (although I wonder if the latter is possible because different mechanisms are used for storing pwds)

* Not the size of an Identity Management tool like MIIS

Could MS Services for Netware play a role in this?

Cheers
