Hi,

Is it true that MSDSS (even with two way sync enabled) cannot retrieve
passwords from eDirectory on reverse synchronization?

So for instance, if a user changes his password upon login through the
Novell client on his PC (because its expired), upon scheduled MSDSS
sync his AD account password will be reset to blank/preset/etc (since
the object has been changed but the password is un-encryptable)?

Also, when the user's password expires and he is on a grace login, how
can I add a windows domain account to the "Synchronize password with
these resources" list so that it can:

1) authenticate to the windows account using the old password (not
expired on the windows side)
2) change the windows password along side with the netware password
when he enters his new password clicks "OK"

If a user is logged on properly and not expired, all the accounts show
up in the resources list and a password change is no problem. Its
only when the password is expired that we get stuck in a pickle.

What I want is probably not possible but I'd thought I'd ask anyways..
ya never know!

Thanks,
Rob
