Netware and Windows Server 2003

My network environment has Netware and Windows 2003 Server coexisting. What
is the best way to configure workstations (Windows XP)?. Primary logon to
the Netware servers or to the Windows 2003 Domain controller?

Currently data files needed are on the Netware Servers. Eventually this data
will be migrated over to the Windows 2003 Server.

Darrell,

I also work in a mixed environment and in my opinion, there are several
questions you need to answer: What are you doing in each environment and way
do the clients need to connect/communicate to each? Depending how you answer
these will determine who your clients are configured and connected. For
example: if the only reason you have Windows 2003 server is for Exchange 5.5,
the clients don't even really need to be in the domain. On the other hand, if
the clients only connect to data on a NetWare server that has not been
migrated, I'd recommed not putting the Novell client on the clients and use
Microsoft's client services for NetWare for connections. I hope this help.
