Hi all.
I am doing XP Pro installs for a university this summer. We use Novell as our network OS, and each student logs into his or her account through the Novell client. Since we are dealing with a university, we need the login process to be as simple as we can, so that we don't get a lot of people messing up the systems. The problem we're running into is this:
When someone logs into Novell, they enter their password, then XP asks for a username to authenticate against. I know the why of it, I just want to know how to stop it. We tried the registry hacks Novell suggests, and they were no good. We've tried using a dummy account both with and without a password. We can get one of two results: either nothing changes (still requires two authentications) or the system will bypass Novell completely and then you cannot have access to your personal drives. These machines will mainly be used as lab machines, and personal drives are critically important.
Disclaimer: I have been looking for the solution to this for two days now. The solution on Novell's website is worthless. The other tweaks I've found thus far have failed to work. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them, but please don't send me back to Novell's website again.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me!
