The Release Notes reference to NetWare 5.x is incorrect. If you are running NetWare, Service Pack 2 currently supports only site systems running NetWare 5.0.
 * SMS 2.0 SP2 site servers can use the Novell intraNetWare Client for Windows NT 4.7 to communicate with site systems running NetWare 4.x or 5.x. See Known Issues Regarding Novell NetWare Client v4.7 for Windows NT/2000 for issues with using the Novell 4.7 redirector.
 * SMS site system roles of logon point, client access point, and distribution point can now be applied to both NetWare 4.x and NetWare 5.x servers. However, clients must be running SMS 2.0 SP2 or later to connect to site systems running NetWare 5.x.
 * SMS 2.0 SP2 clients can use TCP/IP or IPX to connect to site systems running NetWare 5.x.
 * All client operating systems that support connectivity to NDS site systems also support connectivity to NetWare 5.x NDS site systems, using IP or IPX.

MORE INFORMATION
Testing is currently in progress to certify compatibility with site systems running NetWare 5.1.
