Services for NetWare

Services for NetWare is a set of software tools developed by Microsoft to provide support for NetWare-based networks in a Windows environment.

The package includes various components such as file and print services, directory synchronization, and NetWare-awareness for Windows NT 4.0’s user manager. The software enables interoperability between NetWare and Windows environments, allowing users to access files and services across multiple platforms.

With Services for NetWare, administrators can consolidate resources on Windows servers, reducing the need for dedicated NetWare servers. This can result in cost savings for organizations with mixed environments.

The software also includes migration tools to assist with transitioning from a NetWare-based network to a Windows environment. These tools allow administrators to migrate user accounts, permissions, and data from NetWare servers to Windows servers.

Services for NetWare has been widely used in the past by organizations looking to integrate Windows and NetWare systems. However, since Novell’s acquisition by Micro Focus in 2014, the package has been deprecated and is no longer available for purchase or download.
