How to make WIN 2000 a workstation?
We will soon be installing Windows 2000 workstations into a Netware environment. We want these new computers to act like workstations, not a bunch of mini-servers that have to be logged in to.
Does anyone know how I can "rig" these workstations so that anyone who logs in using the Netware client - regardless of their user id - gets the same desktop and privelages as everyone else?
I have to be able to log in to any workstation with my Netware administrator ID without having to maintain a password for every workstation AND still get the exact desktop that the end user would see, in order to trouble shoot end user problems when they are not available to log in "for me".

The Client Services for NetWare service enables client computers to make direct connections to file and printer resources on NetWare servers running NetWare 2.x, 3.x, or 4.x. You can use Client Services for NetWare to gain access to servers running either Novell Directory Services or bindery security. This service is included with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 Professional.
For information about advanced client connectivity and remote network connection methods, see “Defining a Client Connectivity Strategy” in the Deployment Planning Guide. For additional details on TCP/IP features in Windows 2000 Professional and information about how to configure TCP/IP, see the chapter “TCP/IP in Windows 2000 Professional” in this book.
