Single login to Windows 2000. Please Help

[AndyAO]

We currently use Netware 4 with NT4 Workstations with Intranetware client 4.11b. We get full account management when users login. Netware will create a local account for the user on the workstation.

I am now looking at Windows 2000 with client 4.83 and am finding that you can only login if the user already has an account on the workstation. Is there a way of achieving this without using zenworks or creating accounts for every user on every workstation (about 500)

Best way is using Dynamic Local User using ZENworks. You have to include Workstation Manager as part of the Client installation.

By the way, you're brave using Client 4.83! It was only released on 6th March 2002, wonder if there are any bugs yet?? -----------------------------------------------------

I would like to do this too, but we don't have ZENworks. We can't afford it! So there is not really a way to login to the network once without a local profile and without zenworks? JL Filler,Wilton Public Schools, Wilton CT

If you plan to upgrade to NetWare 5.1, you can still use the ZENworks Starter Pack which is free with NetWare 5.1. The URLs is below:

Can you create accounts by including something in the log-in scripts for the users. Might be lengthy, but you wouldn't have to visit every workstation. Good luck. Glen A. Johnson
