All of our workstations are running Windows XP SP2. We are currently running Novell client 4.91 SP4 for user login. NMAS client 3.4.00. All of our printers reside on Novell (iprint) servers. We are planning to upgrade all our workstations to Windows 7 this year. Here are my questions: 1. Do you know if Windows 7 offers a Microsoft client for Novell that could be used in lieu of installing the full Netware client? 2. We currently authenticate through Novell first and then windows. With Windows 7, is there are way to authenticate to Windows first and to Novell in the background? 3. If number 2 is possible, what happens (if anything) to printing? Would we be able to continue to use Novell printing or would we have to switch over to Windows printing? I appreciate any info you can provide. Thank you.

Hi Myron, I want to inform you that Novell client is not a Microsoft product, I suggest you would better to ask Novell for further help: http://forums.novell.com/ Anymore, after I have searched, Novell Client 2 SP1 is support to Win7 (x86 or x64)(Ultimate Edition, Enterprise Edition, or Professional Edition), and for your answer NO.3, : Only iPrint Client 5.20 or later can be installed on a Windows 7 Machine to support printing to Novell iPrint. Thus you may need to upgrade your Novell iPrint. Please refer: Installing the iPrint Client Also, here are some articles which may help: Novell Client 4.91 SP4 for Windows XP/2003 Readme Note: we provide the third party link for technical use only. There may be some changes without notice, Microsoft doesn’t guarantee any accuracy on contacting information.
