Re: Novell/Active Directory



Not sure if you will find lots of reasons in a Microsoft newsgroup the benefits of NDS over AD.

The one thing that pops into my head that I run into on a fairly regular basis is that NDS allows for branch level replication whereas AD cannot.

OK, I just need a couple of reasons why I would run netware 6.5 and
active directory. I come from a company that used only AD. Now I am at
a company that only wants to use Novell. However everything I want to
use Novell cant utilize (well actually it can through scripts galore)
unless I have AD so what is the big advantage of Novell. Im a complete
Newb at novell.
