Compare Users in AD and Novell

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

I have a Win2000 Server running Active DIrectory and another system running
Netware 5.1.

I have a problem of identifying users that are deleted as the system admin
for novell might delete a user but did not inform the Active Directory side
that the user has been deleted.

Have read about the MSDSS but was wondering if there is any way i can just
do a "report" that says user a , b , c was found in AD but not in Novell? In
this case, i can re-verify that the the user a,b,c can be safely deleted in
AD.

Please advice.
Cheers!

I have to do something similar for sync issues between Oracle and AD, but I
had to write a script to compare the two systems. If one side or the other
is out of sync an e-mail is sent out to the responsible party to clear it
up. One thought we never immediately delete a user, we always disable, just
incase there is an oversight.

Hi Paul!
Was wondering if you could share the script with me? Though i dont have to
look up to Oracle, but at least i could have a very rough idea how to start.
Heard that Novell can be queried using "Secure LDAP" but i think just have to
find out more.
Thanks in advance!

That is possible. I will check with my manager.
