Dear Uppin': There is no direct upgrade path. You must uninstall the product from all of your NT domain controllers and reverse-migrate the domain. Then you must upgrade all your NT 4.0 domain controllers to Windows 2000 with Active Directory. Once you are running Active Directory in Native Mode, then you can begin the installation of Novell Account Management for Windows 2000.
But first you must have eDirectory 8.5 in your tree. You must also install eDirectory 8.5 on at least one Windows 2000 domain controller. Be sure to configure eDirectory's LDAP services to run on ports other than 389/636 (which are used by Active Directory). Once this is accomplished, you can then install NAM for Windows 2000 on the domain controller.
In order for password synchronization to work, you must install the password synchronization agent software on every Windows 2000 domain controller. Finally, you must patch or upgrade the Novell client on your workstations with the files included on the CD.
