Novell Clients for Windows NT/2000/XP

note

A workstation can be configured to auto log the user into NDS and/or Windows (local machine or domain). The user information can be set in the registry so that the user is never prompted to log in. The registry information is below.

This information applies to the 4.71 clients and higher. However, if running the 4.9 client, there is an additional step that is shown in TID 10088082.
