In the past, the only way we've been able to accomplish this easily is to
reset both the NT and NetWare passwords to a default password. That makes
them synch, but the users will have to change their passwords the next time
they login.

Hope this helps!

I'm sure this problem has been posted before, but I am in an interesting
position. We run Windows 95 clients (we are migrating to 2000), Windows NT
4.0 DC's and Novell 4.11. I just had security awareness training instructing
all employees not to give passwords out to the IS department, however, as
all of you know, NT and Novell don't sync very well. Is there a way to
securely sync the two without compromising my policy? Any help is
appreciated. Thanks.
