did anyone take sharepoint as an elective?

or better yet - if you deployed the bugger and got hands on experience -

what do you think my chances are of getting sharepoint to work with GSNW?
i.e. the user's home directories are being stored on a netware file & print
server?

Which version? SPS? Free SP?

I see you've read my employer's development handbook.

SPS 2003. the free one that MS are giving away for 2003 srv users.

It has to run on a 2003 server and you can use the MSDE for storage. The
files on your Netware boxes will not be stored there. Once you put them into
sharepoint, they live in the database. I suppose you can leave the files on
your Netware boxes and use the search to crawl them but then you are really
not using Sharepoint at that point. The whole thing is designed around
collaboration and to do that most effectively you should put them in the
system. (And have Office 2003 while your at it.)

thanks for that great post Jtyc.

i got sharepoint 2003 running on 2003 srv and there is a mix of office 2002
and 2003 in the environment.

my head scratcher is, can i (or how to i) give the users access to their
home foldes when they are logging into sharepoint from home?

Through an external sharepoint services site? I don't know that you can.
I'm not too familiar with Netware but I'm guessing their home folders are
not using Active Directory for authentication. If you had Portal Server
running with the Single Sign-on service, perhaps there might be a method to
pass credentials and then maybe use the search to crawl their folders. That
seems a bit sloppy though.

i was thinking of setting up the sharepoint box with GSNW to the netware
volume. then map drive letters to users individual home folders (there will
only be about 10 - 15 users in the test phase - so i shouldn't run out of
letters)

and try to find a way to allow users access to their respective drive
letters. i don't know if the product works that way.

my main goal is reduction of data duplicaion.

when you guys implement it with AD, do the users have access to their home
folders automatically when they authenticate via AD user account or do the
users still have to put the files they want to colaborate with into the
sharepoint doc. library manually?

I think you might have to look at Identity server for the outside
authentication

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...ectory/miis/de
fault.mspx or http://tinyurl.com/kdf6

we have a Sharepoint project set to begin in about 2 months, but no
Netware. My opinion of GSNW is not great. We are looking at the
integration of PeopleSoft data as well and will likely have to look at
MIIS and Biztalk to make it work...
