Not sure about Windows 2003, but with Windows 2008 there is huge improvement over multiple directory management. If your primary management is MMC, see what the Win 2008 tools have to offer. They are free. We are moving to Windows and plan to use those tools to manage eDir accounts. To manage Netware servers, what about your hardware vendor's options? Dell Open Manage comes to mind for Dell servers. Novell's Zenworks can manage PCs, servers (Windows, Unix, Linux, Netware), Palm, Blackberry, etc., if you are looking for that kind of thing. Novell is not on the way out, but Netware is end-of-life. Novell's products run on Windows or Linux now. Tom
>>> "Matt McComas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/23/2008 4:32 PM >>> Yes, but also other things...look at what Hyena (systemtools.com) or Dameware do if you haven't heard of them. you can manage everything from the directory to disk drives, shares, look at server logs, schedule tasks, etc., etc...it's a complete server management solution on the windows side...wondered if anything close to it could be had on the NOVELL side, and even better if both platforms could be managed from a unified interface...though many would argue that Novell is on the way out, such a tool would be tremendous. Of course, it would require authenticating to NDS and AD simultaneously to get access to both platforms at once, but this is not an uncommon scenario. >>> "Tom Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/23/2008 1:52 PM >>> Are you talking about managing the OS or eDirectory/Active Directory? >>> "Matt McComas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/23/2008 2:32 PM >>> NW 6.5 >>> "RAY ZORZ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/23/2008 1:25 PM >>> Which Novell? The old NDS or the new OES? If anyone has it, it's probably Novell. They seem to be porting their stuff to work in the MS world. >>> "Matt McComas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/23/2008 11:17 AM >>> Is there a tool out there that can manage both Windows and Novell servers from the same interface? I'm thinking along the lines of what Hyena and Dameware have to offer on the MS side.
