Hey, I just found a cool option in the 4.9 client that helps with the problem of having to do a Novell login and then a Windows login in certain situations.
Under "Advanced Login", there is an option for "Copy NetWare Username to Windows". By default it is off.
Here is the description taken verbatim from the client:
If this setting is on, whatever is entered in the primary (NetWare) Username field is copied into the Windows Username field, regardless of what might already be there. This setting has no effect when logging in Workstation Only, nor does it have any effect when doing a secondary login (from the Red N). Note that if the Windows Username is blank, this happens without this setting, but once the value has been set by a successful login, it will persist with that value, unless the location profile mandates that the name be blank. This setting makes it possible for an administrator to set up duplicate usernames in both NDS and Windows and the user can then log into both with a single entry. This setting provides support for UPN syntax and using dots in NDS usernames.
