Is there an easy way for a user to keep passwords synchronized on a Windows server in a Novell network without using Novell's Account Management? Our situtation is we have one NT server running an application that will not run on Novell. But our users need to change their passwords every so often. How can I synch the Windows passwords to change when they change their Novell password? If Account Management is the only solution do you need admin rights at the root of the tree to install it and how difficult is it to get set up?

it's a 2 minute setup - just make sure you dont put a replica on the nt box and that the nt box is getting it's time from somewhere - preferable from one of your netware servers - so all is in sync
you would need supervisory rights as you need to extend the schema.
there was another couple of products that would do it but never used them cand ant remember name
is it for a lot of users

There is also a product called DirXML. With this product, Account Managers days are numbered. It will syncronize all directory objects between both NDS and AD (and quite a few other databases as well).
If you do not use ZENWorks, you can use a standard AD Driver. A user license runs about 12 dollars.
If you use ZENworks, you will need to use the Advanced AD driver for DirXML. When you buy ZFD, you get a DirXML license with (last I checked).
Be sure to download the latest from Novell. There will be an update to the Advanced AD driver soon. I had found a bug in it and have been working with Novell to get it fixed. I just installed a new stylesheet that corrects some placment rule issues, so the public should be getting this update was well in the next couple of weeks.

The Domain driver for DirXML comes with ZFD4 as well.
