Chapter 4 - Describe the impact on users of migrating from a small single server-based network to a directory-based network with multiple servers in different roles. Also describe the impact on network designers and administrators.
When you have a single server, users will have to login to their local machines via a local account. Any data that they would need access to on the network will need to be authenticated via a set of credentials on the server itself. The user in this case will be using two different set of credentials to access all of their data. When you move into a directory-based network with multiple servers in different roles, things become very easy for both the users and the administrators. The administrators will need to connect each computer to the domain that way the computer will become trusted and the user accounts will be able to be authenticated by the domain controller. Both the local computer logins as well as access to all of the data on each and every server will be the same and configured from just one location. This makes it easier for the …show more content…

The network currently has three Novell NetWare 3.2 servers. You have Windows clients that access the NetWare servers through a Windows 2000 Server running GSNW.

What type of authentication is used between the Windows 2000 Server and the NetWare servers? What network-centric directory structure, if any, is currently being used?
When you are dealing with both a Windows 2000 server and a NetWare server you can authenticate via Kerberos. This would allow a very easy transition for the future when the Novell servers are phased out. Another option that can be done is by setting up a radius server that can connect to the Novell Netware servers and pulls its information from the Active Directory
