Windows 2000 on a Novell Network. Novell logs in fine - but Windows 2000 login pops up and an old User Name is shown. I have to enter the name and password and everything is ok. I know there is some trick to get the current user name plugged into the Windows screen and I won't even see it as long as the passwords stay in sync.

So what's the trick??
 
First create a local user with the same username as the Novell username. On the next login click Advanced/Windows and enter that username in the Windows log in box. You can synch the passwords on log in. The user won't see the Windows log in screen until Novell forces a password change.
