Windows 7 Active Directory and Novell --- Bad Marriage ?

Non-Technical Threads Chatting over the Back Fence
1

Anyone,
Can Novel(Client 2 SP1 IR for Windows 7) work with Active Directory? It
either does not map Novell drives or if one double logs in(RED N,Novel
Login 2x) gets a Red X under drives NCFSD and Disconnected network
Drive(*:).
If I change the order in
theHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\etworkProvider\Order\ProviderOrder
I add NCFSD and all works, log off/on o’k. reboot and NCFSD disapears.
If I remove the machine from Acive Directory
Novell works fine. HELP !!! I hve been working on this for
weeks. I have googled this and get answers but no solutions. HELP
!!!
Thanks,

So my response to bonehead1956’s comment is…

Might want to repost this in:

novell.support.open-enterprise-server.client.windows

The forum you have posted it in is one that does not discuss Novell
support.

Do you post via a browser or an nttp client?

From a browser; you can tell either looking at the headers or by the fact
that his posts include the HTTP URL to the thread, where ours (NNTP folks)
do not.

bonehead1956, go to http://forums.novell.com/ and search for ‘Open
Enterprise Server’ and click on the forum with that in its name. Next
click on the link to the subforum that is for the windows client. It
should get you here (at least this is the current link… it could
change, thus the instructions above):
