Configure a Domain User Account so That it Can Log on to a Windows 2000 Server-Based Computer (on Which File and Print Services for NetWare Is Installed) from a NetWare Client Computer
To enable a domain user account to log on to a Windows 2000 Server-based computer from a NetWare client computer:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools (Common), and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
 * 2) In the Active Directory Users and Computers dialog box, expand the Domain node, and the organizational units until the user account you want to configure is displayed in the right pane. In the right pane, double-click the user account.
 * 3) In the User_name Properties dialog box, click NW Compatible. Click to select the Maintain NetWare compatible login check box. In the Password for NetWare Compatible User dialog box, type the password the user account will use (when connecting to this server from a NetWare client computer) in the Password box. In the Confirm Password box, retype the password, and then click OK.

If you want the user's NetWare password to expire after all of the user's grace logins are used up, click to select the NetWare compatible password expired check box.

Select and configure the options you want for Grace logins and Concurrent connections.

If you want to create or edit the user account's NetWare login script, click Edit Login Script.

If you want to configure a NetWare home directory relative path, type one in the NetWare home directory relative path box. By default, the path you type is relative to the folder that is shared as the SYS: volume for the FPNW server. You can change the relative root path by using the FPNW tool in Control Panel.

If you want to specify which NetWare client computers the user can log on to, click Advanced. In the Logon Workstations dialog box, click User May Log On To These NetWare Compatible Workstations, and then click Add. In the Add NetWare Compatible Workstation dialog box, type the IPX network number of the IPX network (the client computer is connected to) in the Network Address box. In the Node Address box, type the MAC address of the network adapter in the client computer. Click OK. In the Logon Workstations dialog box, click OK, and then click OK.
 * 1) When you are finished enabling user accounts, close Active Directory Users and Computers.
