Novell users at the time 4.0 came out had no clue what a Directory was, and why they should use it. They were quite used to v3.11, and everybody turned their back on v4.0 as too complex, totally unneeded, and why bother.

By the time Microsoft AD came around, there were actual uses for Microsoft AD, and plenty of buy-in.

Did NDS ever have the equivalent of Windows 2000 Group Policy? And when, if so? Any discussion of dominance of Windows Sever that doesn't mention GPOs is missing the layer that finished off anything competing. Very that's in GP on server 2022 wasn't in Win2k, outside of controlling features as they were added.
