Little-known software tool could lure Windows programmers to NDS and NetWare. It's one small step for Novell Inc., and one giant leap for resellers and network-software developers. In a bid to set a de facto directory-service standard long before Microsoft Corp.'s NT 5.0 Active Directory arrives next year, Novell has made a little-noticed play to lure NT developers to NetWare and Novell Directory Services (NDS). The networking company also has refocused its primary directory efforts on three server operating systems: NetWare, Windows NT and Sun Solaris. .......................................... ...................................... Rather than promote NDS across all major server operating systems, Novell senior vice president Chris Stone has quietly modified the company's directory strategy to blanket mainly NetWare, NT and Solaris. Novell marketing director Michael Simpson confirms the adjustment. The Solaris port will be the reference binary for other Unix vendors to examine or adopt. Novell hopes to bolster NDS's application support during an upcoming 50-city NetWare 5.0 tour with IBM Corp. Yet, even IBM's commitment to NDS is unclear at best. Big Blue in 1997 vowed to support NDS on AIX and OS/390, but the company is now extending its own eNetwork directory service across AIX, OS/390, Solaris and NT. Ideally, Novell wants to make NDS the de facto directory standard long before eNetwork and Active Directory become established rivals zdnet.com
