I would like all users to be able to use their Netware password
to access to a Domain server (Sync Passwords)

Sisdnm,

Just to be clear, NDS4NT and NDS eDirectory are two different products.
So if you have licenses for NDS4NT, they may not work with eDir.
Furthermore, NDS4NT has been updated several times and is now called NDS
Account Management 2.1. So if you are looking for the functionality of
NDS4NT (domain integration, password mgmt, etc), you should get Account
Management. If you just want to host a NDS replica on NT, then use
eDirectory.

You should upgrade the NetWare server to eDirectory 8.5 before
introducing 8.5 on NT. That way all your servers will be at the same
version of NDS. You can download eDir 8.5 for NetWare at
http://www.novell.com/download

NDS version 8.35 is very old and has been replaced several times. See
TID 2957288 or the latest NetWare 5 support pack for the latest. Read
the readme for several other updates you need to apply to the 5.x server
before installing this update. Note that this DS will likely be 8.5x,
8.6x, or 8.7x. This is NOT the same or newer than eDir 8.5. eDir 8.5
will show up as 85.xx.

I'm not sure what the restrictions are for the eval licenses you
received. You should read any docs or .txt files on the disk or contact
your Novell sales rep.

Good Luck,

Then you don't want eDirectory. You want to get NDS Account Management
2.1. eDirectory will not give you domain integration or password
synchronization. Contact your Novell sales rep to get a copy of NDS
Account Management 2.1
