Hi Everyone,
Is it possible for users to login to a novell5 server with win2kpro frontend without the user having to have an account setup on the win2kpro pc.
Thanks
Franny
 
Absolutely! This is actually one of the pretty cool features of Novell's ZENworks. It's called Dynamic Local User (DLU). You can either have Novell seamlessly create the local user the first time a user logs in to a machine, or you can have Novell create/remove the DLU profile each time a user logs in. You can also use settings in DLU to use roaming profiles and some other settings.

You make the DLU settings as a configuration in the user policies. It also allows you to set what NT/2000 groups the DLU user is a member of.

I'll apologize ahead of time if the above message is a bit scrambles, it is 2:30 AM after all!

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any further questions.

-Mike
