An integrated network that spans the Novell NetWare and the Microsoft Windows NT network operating systems, Novell Directory Services (NDS) provides headaches for users and administrators alike. Users who require multiple passwords and network resources (printers and disks, for instance) cannot be administered from a common utility. While Microsoft provides Windows NT Server's Gateways Services for NetWare to interface a Windows NT server to a NetWare network, it falls short of the mark in making integration of NT and NetWare networking easy. Novell does, however, provide an easy-to-use solution in the freeware Novell Directory Services software.

In this book, Jeffrey Hughes and Blair Thomas provide a blueprint for unifying network administration and use. Readers who skip the introductory chapter to get to the meat will miss a critical part of this book. The first chapter lays out the remaining portions of the book in careful detail, pointing out the interplay between the two network operating systems. The first chapter gives the NT point of reference for the NDS chapters that follow. The remaining chapters cover topics such as NDS objects, scaling, fault tolerance, NDS access methods, and time synchronization. The last two chapters focus specifically on NDS and NT.

This book will help NT network administrators integrate a NetWare network into an NT network. Although administrators will know most of the content of this book, the last two chapters could prove very valuable. --Robert Frankland
