SMS and eDirectory

[sharkysztu]

Hello there! I have a little problem. We have the network running under Novell Netware, so we have an eDirectory. We want to install the sms and manage our workstations (win xp, win 2000, win 98). Can sms work without AD and WINS instead it???
Sorry for grammar I'm from Russia.
Thanks for help!

Hi,
SMS 2.0 does not need AD. However SMS 2003 requires both AD and WINS.



I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,
GSC

Have you thought of ZenWorks instead?

Supposedly in Advanced security you really dont need WINS, although I see wins errors all the time on clients ;-D

To go on, if your on a Novell network ZenWorks, as suggested, would be the way to go and the product is very good (and has been for years)

Unfortunatly we have only ZenWorks for workstations. Also i'm working in a goverment organization. Our chiefs trusts to microsoft, "...novell's systems is too old and not perspective...". Now i'm trying AD to make friend with eDir. And to distirbute sevices for clients clear
