Thanks for the responses.
I think the challenge is that we don't know what changes the client makes o=
n
installation. We use the standard installation of the Novell Client,
downloaded directly from the Novell website, so I'm just talking about
changes that the client installation makes during a standard installation,
not any custom changes we've made.
Our constultants provided us with a script that reverts the changes, but
only for XP; they did not provide one for Windows 7, and they haven't been
forthcoming with information that would be helpful for us as we try to
figure out how to make equivalent changes for 7.
Has anyone recently completed a Novell to AD migration that included Window=
s
7 computers? If you'd be willing to share your procedure for migrating the
Win7 workstations to AD, that might help us figure out what we need to do.
Thanks again!

It sounds like you've used Zenworks to set policies on the workstations=
?<br>
I think it would be easiest to use Zen to undo your specific policies befor=
e the migration, rather than attempt to have AD/GPO undo what Novell has do=
ne,,,<br>
