What this book covers
Are you spending too much time in keeping your heterogeneous directory solutions in sync? Are you still using the Novell client to access the eDirectory environment and use NSS volumes from Windows workstations? Are you considering to implement Active Directory in your network to manage your Windows hosts?
If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, this book is written for you. In this book, you will learn how to implement Novell Domain Services for Windows (DSfW) to make your eDirectory behave just like an Active Directory. You can choose to turn your existing eDirectory users into Active Directory enabled users or create a brand new domain. Already have an Active Directory environment? You can integrate Domain Services for Windows with it!
Once Windows workstations have joined the Domain Services for Windows domain, users can access Novell resources like NSS volumes natively, without any additional software. As an administrator, you will still be able to deploy Group Policies through DSfW. You can redirect folders from local disks to network storage, as easily as you do in a Microsoft environment, and with the same tools. You can manage Domain Services for Windows with the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)!
