Hi there,
my client users login to Netware 3.12 at startup but for
now we are trying to set up an Exchange server 5.5. How
can we configure the login in such a way that it is a
single login but to both Novell and Exchange servers?
Client computers are a mix of Windows 98, ME and XP. For
now, clients have to manually login to Exchange server
when they use Outlook.

I receive this message when trying to specify a domain
controller for login in Outlook.

The error was: "DNS name does not exist"
Common causes of this error include the following:
-The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS
-One or more of the following zones do not include
delegation to its child zone: domainservername

What does it mean?

I already enabled DNS service to run on Exchange server
but why can't the DNS record for my Exchange server be
found? I manually setup my Exchange server's IP address
to be an internal IP address.
 
What domain server are you using NT4 or w2k?

In either case with that mix of clients - your best bet probably is to
implement WINS.

If all clients and servers refer to the same WINS server - you should be able
to specify a domain without errors.

If the domain/exchange accounts have the same username and password as the
netware ones - login should be transparent
