Any idea when an updated windows client will be available then ? It was promised a long time ago that a vista compatible (and I suppose also 2k3 compatible) client was coming (cfr http://www.novell.com/coolblogs/?p=969)
The 2.1.x client can be used on Vista with a workaround according to this post https://secure-support.novell.com/KanisaPlatform/Publishing/94/3404609_f.SAL_Public.html But it isn't compatible with a 3.6 server as far as I know. Also, can you give some details why it doesn't work on w2k3 ? Is 2k3 so different from XP (for getting a .net application running on it) ?
