Microsoft(R) Directory Service Manager for NetWare(R) Release Notes

Thank you for participating in the beta test of Microsoft(R) Directory Service
Manager for NetWare(R). Please read these notes and the Administrator's 
Guide before you install this product.

Microsoft reserves the right to make additional performance and user interface 
changes to this product before the official retail release. Do not publish any 
results from any performance tests run against this beta.

Below is a list of issues.


Multiple NIC systems without File and Print Services for NetWare installed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On computers that have multiple network cards and do not have File and 
Print Services for NetWare installed, you must configure a unique Internal 
Network Number for the NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport running 
on the primary domain controller. (You can configure this in the Network 
icon in Control Panel). This is necessary so that a client updating a password
 using CHGPASS.EXE can locate the PDC running Directory Service Manager 
for NetWare.


Do not delete WINNT_SYNC_AGENT Account
------------------------------------------------------------
After a NetWare server has been added for management with a domain, a 
user account named WINNT_SYNC_AGENT appears in that server's bindery. 
This is the account used by Directory Service Manager for NetWare to access the
NetWare server's bindery. Do not delete this user account.


File and Print Services for NetWare users
---------------------------------------------------
File and Print Services for NetWare and Directory Service Manager for 
NetWare share some common components. If you remove File and Print 
Services for NetWare from a server running Directory Service Manager for 
NetWare, you will be prompted "Is this the only File and Print Services for 
NetWare server on this domain?"  You should answer No to  this. Microsoft 
intends to address this problem before the official retail release of Directory 
Service Manager for NetWare.


Error Messages 
------------------- 
 
The following is a list of messages that Directory Service Manager for 
NetWare may generate in the Windows NT Server application log. To 
view the application log, use Event Viewer. 
 
Errors are listed in numerical order, with lowest numbers first. 
 
 
53 Error: Even ID 8022: The Sync Agent Service failed to sync the 
server <servername> due to error 53. The remote computer is not 
listening so we just need to wait for the next try. 
 
	The server may be down, or this could also be caused just by 
	timing issues during communications. The server will be synchronized 
	when the next regular round of synchronizations is sent out. 
	No administrator action is necessary, unless you see a long 
	series of these for one server, in which case you should check 
	whether that server is running. 
 
 
ERROR 58:  The Sync Agent Service could not replicate the database 
to \\RED_22a\sys\jetback because of error 86. 
 
	This may occur if  the password for the user account that 
	was used to set up the database backup path to this server 
	has been changed. 
 
 
Jet error -1017 
JET_errRecordDeleted 
 
	A process tried to add a user account to a group after the 
	user account was deleted. 
 
 
1219:  Event ID: 8022   The Sync Agent Service failed to sync 
the NetWare server 386 due to error 1219 
ERROR_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_CONFLICT The credentials 
supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials. 
 
	This sometimes occurs if you are using a NetWare server that 
	is participating in a domain as a backup location for the 
	Account Synchronization database. While the database is being 
	backed up to the server, attempts to sync the server will fail. 
	As soon as the backup is complete, synchronization attempts will 
	again succeed. No administrator action is necessary. 
 
 
1220 Error: 
 
	Indicates that a NetWare server did not have any connections 
	available. Directory Service Manager for NetWare logs this error 
	until connections to the NetWare server are available again. No 
	administrator action is necessary. 
 
 
Jet Error -1302:  Event ID: 8009:  A jet database -1032 has occurred. 
JET_errFileAccessDenied 
 
	Check to see if there is enough disk space available on the 
	computers containing the Synchronization Manager database backup 
	paths. 
 
 
1317 Error- Event ID: 8022: The Sync Agent Service failed to sync the 
NetWare server <servername> due to error 1317 ERROR_NO_SUCH_USER   
The specified user does not exist.

	Check whether the WINNT_SYNC_AGENT account has been 
	deleted from the NetWare server. This account must not be deleted 
	from a NetWare server that has been added to a domain for management.

Jet Error: -1507 
JET_errColumnNotFound 
 
	Indicates that Directory Service Manager for NetWare is trying to 
	propagate to a server which no longer exists in the domain. 
 
 
Jet Error -1603 errors, JET_errNoCurrentRecord 
 
	A process tried to add a user account to a group after the user 
	account was deleted. 
 
 
Jet Error -1801:  Jet_errDiskFull   
 
	Check to see if there is enough disk space available on the 
	computers containing the Synchronization Manager database backup 
	paths. 
 
 
Jet Error -1811:  Jet_errFileNotFound 
 
	Check to see if there is enough disk space available on the 
	computers containing the Synchronization Manager database backup 
	paths. 
 
 
Event ID 8030: The Sync Agent Service will stop because it can only run 
on the PDC of the domain. 
 
	This will appear on a server that has changed from being PDC to 
	another role. No administrator action is necessary. 
 
 
8009 errors:   A JET DATABASE ERROR -1102 HAS OCCURRED. 
JET_errWriteLock 
 
	A timing issue occurred with propagating an account change to 
	NetWare servers. The account will be propagated in the next cycle, 
	and no administrator action is necessary. 
 
 
Event ID: 8022: The Sync Agent Service failed to sync the NetWare 
server <servername> due to error 1317 ERROR_NO_SUCH_USER   The 
specified user does not exist.

	Check whether the WINNT_SYNC_AGENT account has been deleted 
	from the NetWare server. This account must not be deleted from a 
	NetWare server that has been added to a domain for management.


Event ID 8034: 
Account <account name>  cannot be propagated to NetWare servers because 
the account name is invalid on NetWare servers 
 
	One cause for this may be if the account name contains spaces, 
	because NetWare does not support spaces in account names. In 
	particular, this may happen for many built-in Windows NT Server 
	groups (such as PRINT OPERATORS). No administrator action is 
	necessary.
