Cannot Log On to Windows NT and NetWare Simultaneously

ID: Q196222

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

You may be unable to log on to both a Windows NT and Novell NetWare server simultaneously from a computer that has the Novell Intranetware Client 4.11a installed. Even though you may be able to log on to a Windows NT server, attempting to log on to both a Novell NetWare server and a Windows NT server at the same time may only be successful for the NetWare account. A local account is then created on the Windows NT client, and the Windows NT domain login script does not run.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. In the Novell Intranetware Client Services dialog box, click to select the Windows NT Login Only on the Windows NT tab, and then log on to the Windows NT domain.


  2. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double- click the Network icon. Click the Services tab, click "Novell Intranetware Client for Windows NT," click Properties, click the Novell Workstation Manager tab, click to clear the "Enable workstation manager on these trusted trees" check box, and then click OK.


  3. Click OK to return to Control Panel, and then restart the computer to successfully process dual logon requests.


NOTE: On a computer configured to use a Windows NT local account, this resolution will disable the Novell Automatic Client Update feature of the Intranetware client.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed above.
