Netware 6.5 sp7 vs edir 8.8.8
Quick question (I hope!): Can I install a Netware 6.5 sp 7 server into an existing edir 8.8.8 tree running on a Windows 2008 R2 server? (If the answer is yes, I'll be posting another question shortly asking why it's not working!)

In my effort to be brief, I think that my explanation was lacking! My situation is that I already have edir 8.8.6 installed on a Win 2008 R2 server, with a tree defined. Currently, I am installing a fresh copy of Netware 6.5 SP7 on new hardware. Rather than create an edirectory tree on this new server, I'd like to add/install it to the edirectory on the Windows server. As shown in the table deroode referred to, edir 8.8.2 ships with NW 6.5 sp7 but that's only useful if I want to install this edir as part of the 6.5 sp7 installation. The table also shows that edir 8.8.6 "does not support Netware." I know that this means edir 8.8.6 cannot be installed on a Netware server (thus my installation on Windows), but does it also mean that Netware servers cannot be installed in an edir 8.8.6 tree?

This is hard to grade. I would have liked some more definitive response instead of a best guess. I don't know yet if it's accurate since my priorities at work have been changed and I won't be able to verify anything in the immediate future. Easy to follow answer? Yes, basically try it and see.
That being said, I am grateful to deroode for giving it a shot. Perhaps it was just a poor question.

Different service pack levels of eDirectory should work together. Of course there is a possibility that with service packing your server you decided not to upgrade eDirectory due to some sort of incompatibility with older other products.
