XP Rollout in NetWare Environment - help and suggestions please

[reicherb]

I posted this is the OS forum but didn't get much of a response.

I'm preparing for a Rollout of about 75 XP Pro machines in a Netware 5.1 environment. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions. So far I have 2 concerns. Login scripts seem to stall for about 20-30 seconds when loading either Client Trust or NAL Explorer and how do I get the Windows login screen to stop prompting for a password after users have authenticated with the Novell client? I'm currently using Novell client 4.83.

Thanks.

I am currently testing Windows XP for rollout in our 600 workstation environment..so here is what I found.

I am using the "official" Windows XP client release (4.81 i believe) and it works without issue.
I do not have the NAL or logon scripts issues you speak of. One thing i would recommend against is roaming profiles, they are huge by default in XP and it only gets worse as you add more apps to the users desktop!

If you are using a local profile that would be one of the reasons you see the prompt for a password fomr Windows. Did you sync up theri passwords?
