IMHO, this is indeed the way to go. Keep in mind you can consolidate AD and NDS management, as far as user accounts/group memberships with Novell's Account Management (use 3.0 not 2.1!)Ultimately that product will roll into IDM (Identitly Management/DirXML).Dir/XML can get costly as a project if you plan on linking more than just AD and NDS accounts but the payoff can be so sweet!
