Installing Novell eDirectory 8.61

Installing Novell NDS eDirectory on the ZENworks Windows 2000 server for this Lab Guide requires the following parts:

• Install Novell Client 4.83
• Install Novell eDirectory 8.61

Although Microsoft* Active Directory is not required for ZENworks services, many Windows server environments use Active Directory, or its close predecessor Windows NT Domain Services, to better manage Windows server security.

For more seamless integration between ZENworks services and Windows Networking, it helps to synchronize accounts between Microsoft Active Directory and Novell eDirectory by using Novell Account Management. Novell Account Management can be set up quickly, and it provides bi-directional account synchronization---including password synchronization--- between the two directory services.
