Is that only 8.0, Joe, or is 8.5 similarly affected? (we're running = >5.1 sp4 here...) --------- Well, the nearly obvious situation is I have BE v8.0 rather than 8.5 or 9, so I can address only that edition. Also, a person suggested using the -b option to load BE and omit nwaspi.nlm. Alas, v8.0 does not recognise the -b option, though it will accecpt and use ad_aspi.nlm instead (Adaptec board). If I had more time I could play with reinstalling it to use a board-specific driver, but I suspect the memory leak will continue. The leak is a continual drop of a cache buffer every second or two during backups, really closer to 2KB per second, but only when files are accessed. The memory is registered against nwpa.nlm and is not returned. From the list we see the same situation occurring on NW 6 and 5.1, with BE and Arcserve. Those are useful observations for Novell to exploit. Joe D.

After the client install, checking the NIC parameters shows there is no IPX protocols present. Checking the client properties and the Protocol Preferences tab, shows under the protocol windowlet, that IP and IPX are still there. Now I know there is no IPX, so if it was removed by the reinstall of the client as I stated, why does this windowlet still show IPX as a possible client option ? Anyone noticed this before ? Client 4.81 with latest SP. It doesn't seem to cause any problems, it's just odd as hell this should still be there.

We've seen this on 4.x 5.x etc where arcserve appears to just stop working and leaves a job in an inconsistent state - not finished. Running "tapedrv display jobhandles" will display any active tapserver jobs. Running "tapedrv kill jobhandle 'name'" where name is the alphanumeric "tag" for the running job will kill the running job. There can be several for one scheduled backup. killing them from the first one down usually works best. I haven't done this on NW6 or arcserve 7 but it has been consistant across arcsrve 5 and 6 and 6.1 versions. N.B. It did crash one server but that was a flakey Netware 4.11 boc anyway. The scheduler still thinks the job is active and won't release the script for it to run again if it's a repeat job until the server is restarted. I have separate jobs for each night and each friday so this allows for a week before I have to restart which allows for timely notification of users etc if need be.

The final fix is likely rolled into later updates. I have retired all NW 4.x operating systems so I can't do a quick look-see for you.

Like any major change, much documentation reading and experimentation is required. This applies to both MS and NOVELL operating system solutions. We are NW51( soon NW6 later this month) and have migrated 100+ printers to NDPS. We had no problem maintaining the queues during this transition to NDPS and then getting rid of the queues. The only problem we had was with load balancing of a couple of printers that service a very high volume in our large open lab. The NDPS load balancing did not work as of last fall, so we kept the queue based setup for these particular printers. I will find out soon if printer load balancing works better with NW6 NDPS. As with most vendor drivers and software, it is often best to get the latest from the hardware vendor. As an example, we are an NDPS and an HP shop. We update the gateway software and printer drivers from the HP site. Other things I am looking into are direct IP printing from the workstation to the printer, so comments are welcome. Please post if you have questions.

It is so simple, in fact, that one can easily make it "hard". I did. Once over a the learning trauma, it is a breeze. I did find, initially, some difficulty setting up, with very "funny" happenings. If this had to do with some IPX/IP and NCP comedy in early versions, or with others on campus trying to setup NDPS independently in the same time frame, is un resolved (and ignored as water under the bridge). One can service existing print queues via NDPS. This helps ease the transition and works well, in my experience. Users can be oblivious to the change while migrating. The "integrated gateways" are a product of the printer vendors, as are the printer drivers. If the vendor chooses not to make one, all is not lost. If you need updates, pound on the printer vendor. Often (always ?) one can use the "novell gateway" to make the printer work. You will find the occasional driver that simply will not work, either cannot add to NDPS "resources" or fails to load at printer install time. In that case, one can still create the printer object, associate it with any print driver. Later,install it on PC's via the Windows "add printer" comedy routine (browse network printers) and choose a "standard" windows driver. Works here. Seems to be the only way to get printers installed on some Win2k or XP stations. This last could probably be automated via WinBatch, but in smaller shops is hardly worth the effort. ----------------------------------------- Joe Acquisto SUNY New Paltz 845-257-3134 (V) 845-257-6900 (F) --------------------------------------------------- "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

In my opinion it is a lot easier to set up, once you get used to the differences. Having drivers install themselves automatically is wonderful. However, it sounds like you're looking for the "gotcha"s, so here are the problems we've encountered with NDPS: 1) You have to use NetWare Administrator to administer it.. 2) The printer view you get in NetWare Administrator depends upon the printer type specified on the gateway. Even with the latest gateways, new printer models aren't always listed. You CAN change the printer type after the fact if an updated gateway comes out. 3) Remote Printer Management associates printers with users, not workstations. This can be a problem if you have users that move around. Personally, I'd rather associate printers with workstations... 4) Out-of-service printers can be a real pain. With NetWare Administrator, moving print jobs is a multi-click operation and you have to move them one at a time. As far as I can tell, there's no way to temporarily redirect output to another printer. I've come up with a workaround though - rename the defective printer, then create an alias that points to a nearby working printer. Just make sure the drivers are compatible... ...and if you're using Win2k / WinXP workstations: 5) You have to use a special startup switch /DisableTLSMGR when opening NetWare Administrator. Otherwise you won't be able to add drivers to the Broker. 6) Win2k and WinXP will complain if you try to install drivers that haven't been certified by Microsoft. In my experience, this means virtually all printer drivers. The message that pops up says something like "you should not install this driver unless..." and that's the point where most users will click on CANCEL. What fun. You can turn off this annoying "feature" via the registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing\Policy=00. 7) If you use Remote Printer Management to automatically install printers on WinNt / Win2k workstations, you may get 45-60 second delays printing from older applications. Notepad is a good way to test this. If you install the printer manually via Add Printer, this problem doesn't occur. Most of our workstations are Win2k, so we skip the auto-configure options and install all of our printers manually. I haven't tested this bug with the latest 4.83 drivers though... 8) You can't capture an LPT port to an NDPS printer on WinNT/Win2K. The workaround here is to create a queue to capture the LPT port to, then assign that queue to an NDPS printer. Or quit using DOS applications that require LPT printing... or stay on Win95/Win98... Hope this helps... >>> John Hanna 07/05/02 10:29AM >>> We are reviewing our print services solutions here since Novell seems to be heading in a direction away from the legacy queue based printing and I wanted to get some ideas of what others (listers) were doing for there print services. Please comment on what you are doing if you please. I have been reading up on NDPS and of course it says it is easier to setup and manage, but I have not found that true in my testing yet. I also see that Novell is a little behind in keeping up with the integrated gateways and printer drivers. Is there a place to download the latest of these? It seems they would be included in the consolidated service packs, but maybe not.

There are ways around this too, but it is easier to merge the trees as already suggested to maintain these attributes. The other way mentioned (and I the only one I can think of off-hand) is to use a utility like TBACKUP to a file and then recreate the DS users, then restore the rights after [bindery emulation might be needed depending on how you had it setup before]).

I've searched the CAI website and was startled to find out that Arcserve 7 appears to make a bindery login request - i.e. every container in which a target server exists must have a local user with associated rights to backup.

I've created a backup user in every container that has a server to backup, I've assigned the necessary rights to the user, I've then set a bindery context for the container. Result ? Some servers backup OK - others give the error noted above, even though there appears to be no difference in te setup of the user and associated rights granted. I've about had it with Arcserve - I'm looking at Backup Exec for Netware v 9.0 - anyone got any tales of woe for this software before I migrate my backups ?

You folks are my last resort... :-) Key info: OS Windows 2000 (all patches up to date), Novell Client 32 v4.81. All printers connected through Novell 5.0, SP 6a On two laptops (Compaq Armada M700's), I have clients suddenly experiencing a reoccurring problem (one is on a daily bases - at boot up every morning, the other occurs only occasionally). The problem is that [on boot up] printer network assignments are lost, the printers are installed and visible but the client cannot print to ANY of the assigned networked printers. Upon further investigation, I've found that when this problem occurs, the network printer port assignment(s) (under printer properties) are missing. All that appears are the standard LPT, COM, IR unassigned defaults. Furthermore, if I add a printer, the browse network selection is missing the Netware Networks option. Rather, only the Microsoft Network and NDPS printer options are visible. Currently, printers are assigned through traditional Novell queues, not NDPS. So far, the only solution is to re-boot but obviously this is not an acceptable long-term solution. Reinstalling network printer assignments and the Novell client did not help. Any thoughts?

Cannot select >latter, give the "not available" message. No "menu" is visible. > >joea/ ------- The tactic is very simple. Windows uses MS client software, which supplies the Windows username and the encrypted (sic, MS style) Windows password. NDS hears them, looks up the username (so must be the same as the NDS username) finds the encrypted simple password, compares these two encrypted versions. CIFS default name is the name the server uses to advertize itself to clients. Please do read the docs, or simpler, just run ConsoleOne. NW is told the plaintext version of the Windows password, encrypts it the same way as Windows, keeps that encrypted form in NDS. Decryption runs into legal problems. We do the telling, via C1 or Remote Manager. Beware, CIFS can be told to hand the credentials to an NT server for checking, so tell the CIFS configuration via C1 to do what you want it to do. Strtcifs.ncf, stopcifs.ncf Otherwise you likely did something wrong during NW installation. Joe D.

I have had all kinds of issues getting jet direct to work at a couple of site, and in both cases they were related to either a somehow corrupt/bad version of jet admin, or it was the pc I was installing it on. One particular issue was when I updated a site to Novell 5 from 4.11, even HP told me I had to replace two of the jetdirect cards. I reinstalled the software on a different pc and all of a sudden everything worked.

What about on win2000 server using SSL, does it require enough licenses for the expected influx of users coming in on the web to view the pages? Greg I would like to be able to create an SSL certificate for an IIS web server using my Novell CA. Can that be done? I searched through a bunch of stuff and it seems like in theory it should work but I wonder if anybody has any personal experience related to this.

That solved the problem in the interim, but Arcserve sent me this - which I have since implemented. Something else I do when the backup runs before midnight, is I schedule the prune/purge to run about 6AM which is several hours after the backup is finished. Try this out. Greg 1. Edit the parameters of sys:\system\bti.cfg file as indicated below: [MicroKernel] MaxFiles =200 (default is 20) MaxCursors=120 (default is 60) CacheSize=32768 (default is 1024) MaxClients=120 (default is 30) BackgroundThreads=30 (default is 4) [Btrieve Communications Manager] MaxWorkerThreads=30 (default is 3) MaxClients=120 (default is 15) Then restart the Novell server for the changes to take effect. 2. Once the server is restarted and ARCserve is up submit a backup job and check whethere it is going fine. If that is again abending the server then follow the suggestion given below: 3. Refer the document 10133 from the link indicated below and then replace the database. http://support.ca.com/techbases/as61/10133.html 4. To set the time for the prune and purge jobs go to the Arcserve manager--> Quick access--> server admin--> select admin from the menu and then select configure--> prune/purge and then set the time accordingly. I have two servers NW6SP1 servers running Arcserve 7.0 with the same patches (I don't remember which ones). Each time the ASDB process attempts to "prune" the database records, multiple abends occur, and I have frozen servers, that I need to reboot. Does anyone have the same problems ?

The workaround I use is to recreate the backup job every time rather than trying to save the job and reschedule. Using this method I am able to use my NDS (not bindery) Admin user to backup several servers. However, I must verify the password for the user for each server before submitting the job. After working with Arcserve versions 4,5,6,and 7 I also have come to the conclusion that it's time for a change. Ver. 7 just doesn't work! I have spent countless hours patching and updating after scouring the CA website for clues. I finally have a reliable backup but do not enjoy creating the job from scratch each time. I am also supplementing my efforts with Arcserve 6 on another 4.11 server since 7 has been glitchy. I have been told that NovaStor v. 8.5 is better than Arcserve or Exec - it has already been implemented in several area schools. I'm waiting for my copy to arrive. For more information contact : NovaStor.com - 80B West Cochran - Simi Valley, CA 93065. They have a free demo. Good luck.

This was fairly unusual. I was glad I elected not to include it in my roundup. My personal experience was that their tech support was unresponsive to a much earlier edition, and my correspondent had similar problems to yours, as tech support basically told him to change his hardware (or NOS). You might try St Bernard's Open File Manager: it works well with the major backup products; check to see if it integrates with NovaNet. This presupposes that NovaNet will actually handle the double fork entries of Mac files. You should use an OFM type product, anyway. There is a reason most people use the major players: BrightStor (ARCServe), BackupExec, Legato Networker, etc. I know they are a little pricier, but what price can you put on good data backup? For unusual hardware, or bigger sites, you don't have a choice, as these products (and maybe 1-2 others I've forgotten) support more configurations and better integrate multi-server , client backups, etc. The more inconvenient it is, the less likely that someone will actually do it.

I have a number of remote sites, all but one is currently running Windows NT on the desktop. The other one has a variety of Win95, Win2K, WinNT, there is a variety of clients from 4.71 to 4.83(patched with nwfs.sys). I have setup a couple of shared drives from our central office Netware 5 SP6A server to all of my remote offices, with Windows NT and 95 there is no issue, however with Windows 2000 whenever Windows explorer opens or opening or saving a file using any of the Office 97 suite of products off the local server there is a time delay of up to about 30 seconds. It is almost as though Windows 2000 is going and checking each and every network drive path to ensure it is still available before continuing with the current operation. I have attempted all the ithowto speed patches/tips, along with the cool solutions tips and have even reapplied Win2K SP2 to no avail. I have also checked the KB with nothing of significance found to correct this as of yet. The windows 2000 machines also had this problem when they had Client 4.71, upgrading to 4.83 only temporarily helped but it still wasn't as quick as it is in the central office. The only thing that has worked so far is disconnecting the shared drives which improves performance and therefore removes the time delay problem. Has anyone else come across this or have a solution to it I would greatly appreciate it.

I will try to determine this by capturing a trace. I think the SLP header may contain some version information. While we have you there Joe another ques: SLP v1 does not specify any DA-DA communication for exchange of service registrations. Does this mean that if want a full network wide services registration database we need to have DA's servicing all scopes. For eg consider we have 2 scopes - Scope_A (serviced by DA_A & DA_B) and Scope_B (serviced by DA_A & DA_B). In this case eventually Scope_A and Scope_B will (should) contain same registrations. How is the situation different in SLP v2. In this case do Scope_A(serviced by DA_A) and Scope_B(serviced by DA_B) automatically synchronize their service registration databases.

SLP's broad and multicasts do not work between SLP versions. Unicasts do work. Directory Agents don't know about other DAs, even though the data is held in NDS (right beside the server object, by default). We can have Service Agents unicast to various DAs by using etc\slp.cfg. We can tell a DA to service more than one SLP NDS container object (use nwadmin32 or ConsoleOne). Best to not mix Scopes in one DA. But today SLP v2 requires an explicit non-empty Scope (defaults to DEFAULT). SLP v1 defaults to an empty scope, which SLP v2 ignores. Scopes are intended as regionalizing devices, so it is best to keep them regional and isolated. SLP v2 ships in NW 6, v1 in NW 5. Both are described in RFCs, but those are wishy-washy chat docs.

The problem I have is, that older mails seem to have disappeared from the mailboxes and some mailboxes can't be opened at all. The mailboxes are on a netware-drive When I try to copy them via Console1 I get the message "Unable to move/copy file". Anybody else who had this problem? Any ideas? I have loaded NW6SP1, the later NSS update and the new FILESYS.NLM, but to no result. As a side-problem. I also have a directory which has user-directories in them. I can see directories starting with A to K, but not L to Z, while they are there. I can see them in Console1, and all attributes seem to be the same. I have Supervisor right on all directories...

It seems that a person that wishes to log in to a Netware server running CIFS, using the MS client for MS networking, will have a password that is distinct from the "Novell" style NDS password. Seems that they cannot be "synched" and must be administered individually. Further, I just expired the test users password (N-NDS) and it did not seem to affect the simple (MS-NDS) password, so it seems the NDS password security policy is of no effect on the simple password.

References: <20020712040002.GDTT6157.mtiwgwc28.worldnet.att.net@mailer.syr.edu> Message-ID: <002501c229e2$49afc940$4b2f480c@worldnet.att.net> I have a client who is upgrading their 3.12 server to NW6. The use queue based IPX printing on a mix of HP LJs, Okidata line printers, and special lable printers (generic). They are switching out a mix of Intel NetPort and HP print servers to all HP JetDirect, so there is considerable age variance in HP JetDirect external and internal models. The queues don't migrate properly. Re TID 10026998 for 5.x, we deleted all print objects and recreated everything with JetAdmin, 3.05. For a while, we were able to capture queues, until we added a second external JetAdmin server (different printer). Then we saw 0x17 (?, not 13, indicating connected)under bindery object, indicating not connected. Basically, communications became flaky with the second addition. It was not a license issue. Both JetDirects were 500ex or 500 internal, with 8.20 firmware (TID 10016807). Either a TID (10020392) or HP doc indicated that we would be better off with HP JetAdmin 3.4 or later, which is no longer available. Does anyone have this - last version was 3.42, I think. HP now recommends Web JetAdmin; (novell rec. 3.4+) HP has a doc that shows Web JetAdmin's ok for bindery queue printing, but when we tried this, the queue appeared not to even set up properly. My best guess is that the NetGear switches they are using are not transmitting SAP or SPX properly. I was unable to determine or find out how many hops were involved, except that the first printer probably involved two hops to the server. A TID (10016807) shows that most protocol analyzers will not properly show queue based print traffic, so that's not an option. When client tried this previously, queues migrated OKwhen server and printers moved to same switch. They are purchasing an HP ProCurve switch to replace all the NetGear stuff, and we'll try again. Any hints or clues? And does anyone have JetAdmin 3.4+? Please email it to me, or send me a link; if it's too large, I'll provide an alternate email. Thank you, this one has me stumped. And yes, the client needs queues, won't move to ndps until this is working, and doesn't yet want to go to pure ip until all the previous is working well.

What am I missing? > >joea/ ------------ I thought I explained this earlier in the week. Windows automatically sends the Windows username and password in CIFS connection requests. The password is encrypted by Windows. Novell would be in legal trouble converting it back to plaintext. Instead, NW stores the Windows encrypted form as the "simple password" and compares it to what the Windows machine supplies at CIFS login time. The check becomes a simple pattern match, choosing the username offered by Windows to look up the matching NDS username's properties. NDS passwords are a totally separate matter. CIFS password changes are absorbed by NW as a change of simple password, provided the change is done while logged in via CIFS.

Currently, I am using the following: CPU - PII 450MHz Board - Intel 440BX motherboard Memory - 256Mb x 2 DIMM PC133 RAID - DPT SmartCache IV HDs - Seagate Barracuda 18gb x 5 NOS - Netware 5.0 This system has been reliably supporting 72 workstations but it is slow, sometimes painfully slow despite all the Netware tweaking I've done! I realize the major reason for the slow speed is in the hard drive technology. I plan to upgrade to Netware 6 plus the following (suggestions welcome): - An Intel PIII capable motherboard. I was considering a dual PIII board such as the SLT2 server board. Is there any significant benefit to a dual processor board that would justify the additional costs? I cannot use a P4 board because of the non-compatible chassis and redundant power supply investment. - Memory Increase memory by 256Mb - RAID - I need to upgrade the fastest SCSI RAID solution that my company can afford! Currently, I am looking at the Adaptec 2100S Ultra160 SCSI 32bit controller w/128Mb ECC memory. Or I could go with the 2110S which is limited to 32Mb but is a 64bit PCI card. Which is better?? - HDs - Definitely stay with Seagate. I'm very happy with their individual performance. - NOS - upgrade to Novell 6.0 as soon as evaluate the real benefits. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you, Shawn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Shawn Connelly, Network Engineer. Dipix Technologies Inc.

Let my try to explain my concerns more clearly. The simple password apparently has no provision for setting an expiration cycle, forcing a minimum length, or for intruder detection. It seems to me that allowing CIFS type logins, in this manner, is "dumbing down" some aspects of LAN security related to password parameters, if that is the correct word. These "missing features" are what concern me.

We are currently all servers NW51SP3 with edir 85.23. Our current campus web server is a dedicated NES web server that uses the ~homedir feature to redirect to our main campus "homedir" server for faculty web pages. This has been a very helpful and critical feature. We were hit hard when we installed NW51SP3, as this feature was broken. Subsequent Novell patches did fix this, but with a lot of irate user downtime. Can anyone tell me if the ~homedir remote server redirect feature will survive the NW6 upgrade using NES?

One was recently set up at a client office. The Minolta tech configured its scan-to-email feature to send to our local GroupWise server, thence to the owner's email address. It all works fine, except: the GW client doesn't seem to even recognize the presence of the PDF or TIFF mime attachment. All that shows up in the email message is the MIME.822 "attachment". Interestingly, GW's File-> Attachments-> View displays a red message at the bottom saying "Click to view Base64 encoded file <...>" (the correct attachment file name is given). Doing so, however, produces an empty document. Even more interestingly, if I define a file type in Windows Explorer such that .822 is the same as .EML (i.e., an Outlook Internet message), I can double-click on the MIME.822 "attachment" within Groupwise, and Outlook pops up with the whole message properly decoded, attachment detected and ready to launch -- which it also does just fine, thanks. That's gotta hurt somebody's pride. What a thought: using Microsoft Outlook as the front end interface for Groupwise. FWIW, I can forward that same message to another system running Forte Agent email software, and it handles the attachement without difficulty as well. So it seems likely that Groupwise's MIME detector is broken. I've been over the raw message format carefully. I don't see a thing wrong. Not spaces around the "=" or anything like that. I don't have the exact version of GW handy, but I believe it's 5.5. And the owner will be distinctly uninterested in spending a lot of time and/or money on fixing this -- especially if the Outlook trick works so nicely. So, is this a known issue? Is there a quick fix? Should I just drop in a new client and all will be forgiven? Or would I have to pay for upgrades and run the version compatibility gauntlet (which will not happen)? /kenw Ken Wallewein Calgary, Alberta kenw at kmsi.net www.kmsi.net From geoffc at YORKU.CA Tue Jul 16 15:43:23 2002 From: geoffc at YORKU.CA (Geoffrey Carman) Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2002 10:43:23 -0400 Subject: NW6 ABEND, Apache, LIBC.

If this is correct then please talk to Microsoft. Windows caches addresses and does not do a DHCP renewal just because the net became disconnected momentarily. This has nothing to do with a NW client; DHCP address work occurs as the machine starts and prior to any client work. Joe D.

Go to the server to be taken off line. Load nwconfig and select "Directory Services". Select "Remove Directory Services from this server". That's it. The remove process will notify all other servers of its demise. After it is out of the tree, down it and use C1 to clean up the objects.

It does various sanity checks (like removing replicas, ensuring there are other copies of partitions, and there are no Master partitions on the server you are removing) You should only use the DSREPAIR option if your Server is basicly, off the network. If you use your method, you don't actually remove DS from your server, you just tell the rest of DS that your server doesn't exist. With the NWConfig option, you still have to tidy up some DS objects (like volumes objects, etc) but the main server object is removed cleanly from the DS.

I believe you need to have another DHCP server to handle each subnet where you have users that roam from subnet to subnet. I will try this after I come back from vacation in a couple of weeks. My understanding is that when you assign a DHCP server to a particular subnet(s) it does not see the entries for the subnets it is not responsible for. In your case a DHCP server that handles the subnet and manual entry for the 10.0.1.101 address would not see the manual entry for 10.0.0.13 because it is not responsible for that subnet. Therefore it would assign the address since it would not see another IP address for the particular MAC address. Note: This is just my understanding. I have not actually tried this yet.

Well, I believe it is time to upgrade our old but chugging along server. Currently, I am using the following: CPU - PII 450MHz Board - Intel 440BX motherboard Memory - 256Mb x 2 DIMM PC133 RAID - DPT SmartCache IV HDs - Seagate Barracuda 18gb x 5 NOS - Netware 5.0 This system has been reliably supporting 72 workstations but it is slow, sometimes painfully slow despite all the Netware tweaking I've done! I realize the major reason for the slow speed is in the hard drive technology. I plan to upgrade to Netware 6 plus the following (suggestions welcome): - An Intel PIII capable motherboard. I was considering a dual PIII board such as the SLT2 server board. Is there any significant benefit to a dual processor board that would justify the additional costs? I cannot use a P4 board because of the non-compatible chassis and redundant power supply investment. - Memory Increase memory by 256Mb - RAID - I need to upgrade the fastest SCSI RAID solution that my company can afford! Currently, I am looking at the Adaptec 2100S Ultra160 SCSI 32bit controller w/128Mb ECC memory. Or I could go with the 2110S which is limited to 32Mb but is a 64bit PCI card. Which is better?? - HDs - Definitely stay with Seagate. I'm very happy with their individual performance. - NOS - upgrade to Novell 6.0 as soon as evaluate the real benefits.

If you can boot is safe mode, it's *PROBABLY* not a virus. Most likely you've got some corrupted VXD files. The best solution I've found is to reinstall Win95. If you happen to have Internet Explorer version 4 installed, you'll need to uninstall that first. Hope that helps.

The scenario is that they are using Client 4.83 (IP only and with the update), Windows 2000, Office 2000 and connecting to a Netware 5.1 SP4 server. When they attempt to open certain Word documents which are loaded with equations, it either takes a long time to open the document or it causes their workstation to hang. Similarly when they attempt to save to the Netware server, the save takes a long time and sometimes results in the workstation hanging. Even browsing the directory where the Word document is stored with Windows Explorer can take a long time. Client file caching is set to off on the server (SP4 inserts a line in the autoexec.ncf). When the user copies the file to the hard disk drive, they have no problems opening and saving the document; this problem appears to be related to the Netware environment. Any suggestions?

While most of what was sent consisted of vendor stuff and/or studies financed by a vendor, I was able to piece a document together for our group. This group of techies and non-techies is tasked with recommending a directory service for the school district. Currently both are running although AD has only been employed in one high school for a semester and in testing setting at the district office. Yes, I understand that non-techies should not necessarily be "in" on the decision but, quite frankly, they appear at the moment to favor eDir more than AD. Our next step is draw up a demonstration document that both vendors will have to address during a 1.5 hour dog-and-pony show in August. Specifically, I need help from anyone running BOTH directory services. What can be asked of the products that will apply to both? I will be asking that the demos inclulde specific directory-enable applications/functions such as application management, soft/hardware inventory, email system management and more. If you have experience with both and had to put together such a document, what would you ask of each? BTW, in a related issue, I'm also the GroupWise member of another project that will recommend a single, district-wide email system. The GW demo was yesterday; Exchange 2000 today and a product called FirstClass tomorrow. The best thing I heard was our Exchange admin vocally touting the benefits of software installation under GW. We had numerous problems replicating a student-environment with Exchange (multiple users on a single computer). The required reconfigs just couldn't be done using the desktop security software employed in the non-ZENworks schools - no way, no how.

However, to let it have a fair battle against NDS, can I just clear up a few things from below: Password changes take however long you configure the replication schedule to be, but when a client logs on, if the password is wrong according to the chosen DC, the client will also pass a verification attempt to the PDC Emulator operations master. If you place this correctly (i.e. near the staff that change the passwords), then this flaw diminishes. AD now does support attribute replication, though the early betas didn't. I agree, it is not hierarchical, location in the tree is just another attribute of the user - doh! You can have users with the same name in the tree, but the bit I haven't figured out yet is which property has to be different to distinguish them (due to above). You can have two "Mark Johnston"'s, but they definitely cannot have the same logon name unless in separate domains. You can have multiple GCs in the forest, but (and here's a great one), should you change the schema (which incidentally is not reversible), all the data in the GC is invalidated and the entire lot has to be replicated round all the other GCs. OK on a small campus, but an international company with slow links between sites may have major problems with this. There are tools out there for bulk editing of AD - some are on the resource kit, but you can bet your bottom dollar that an equivalent to JRB Utils (which is the tool most of us are probably dependent on for this kind of work) will be out soon (of not already). Most of the rest of what you say though is very valid and almost expected from a first release. Some others to add, a domain controller with Windows 2000 can only hold a "replica" of it's own domain. This changes in .NET and will allow any DC to hold a replica of other domains. Hence reducing the number of DCs you need in a multiple domain environment. You seem to have to know a lot more about designing an AD forest to successfully set one up, whereas with NDS, the design guidelines are very loose and it just seems to work. In answer to the original question, I would also like to see impartial comparisons between them both. However if you take the reports that both Microsoft and Novell publish about how much better their product is compared with their rivals and add a fair amount of technical understanding about both solutions, then you can gleam a good insight into which product will suit you most.

Tis a puzzle these days. So, if searching Google or equiv is not productive (it _is_ distractive) then we revert to rote memory about listservers. The classical listserver machine likes to help by having messages sent to its username, which is listserv. It's vocabulary is limited so we try a one word message, HELP, as openers. It usually works. The catch is remembering how to spell the username, and the whole mechanism too. Sigh, that's life with complexity. As a reminder which fits onto a small piece of paper, below is my standard registration blurb for the list. Joe D. --------- The novell at lsv.syr.edu list is for Novell-specific topics, principally NetWare and related material. It is a privately operated listserver; it is NOT a News group, no matter how you receive material. The items below are to assist you in dealing with the listserver machine. If you have subscribed to the list and wish to send messages to all list members then send them to novell at lsv.syr.edu If you have subscribed to the list and wish to control your listserver subscription (talk to the listserver machine proper, not to the list of people) then send Email to listserv at lsv.syr.edu A one line message HELP should give you a nice thick instruction manual. Remember, it's a machine doing the parsing so omit all human-speak, no signature stuff, no fancy things). If you wish to subscribe or unsubscribe send to address listserv at lsv.syr.edu and use a ONE LINE message (no .sigs, no fancy stuff, just one bare line) saying either subscribe novell your-real-name or unsubscribe novell The listserver machine will read the mailgram headers to discover your Email return address; be sure to subscribe from the proper address! If you can't unsubscribe because your Email address is no longer the same as when you subscribed (alas, please don't let that happen) then contact a human at novell-request at lsv.syr.edu and explain the problem. Don't send the problem to me (see below). If traffic to your Email address bounces your subscription will be terminated. In such cases please see your Email Responsible Person, get the matter straightened out locally, ensure your machine has a proper and valid Domain Name Server MX (mail exchange) record and that your mailers actually work. Then try resubscribing. Many mailers are broken: they may provide incorrect or fragmentary headers. Many mailers are broken: they may not know how to properly queue messages or route them locally. Broken mailers mean you lose. A few people forget to unsubscribe or turn off Mail at the listserver machine while they travel. Fewer foolishly send back "vacation" messages to each arriving message; don't let that happen to you. Smart sites may wish to take out one subscription for the entire site, and place the traffic into a local fake NEWS group for general reading. That does not make the list NEWS, and the list is NOT a NEWS group. This saves network bandwidth, saves cpu cyles at Syracuse, and provides easy access to people who do not wish to subscribe. A note: I live in Utah; the list machine is at Syracuse Univ in New York State. That's a long way from my place and I have no priv'd control at all over the machine. Thus I cannot control your subscription even if I wanted to assist. The folks who do have control all work at Syracuse Univ, so please contact them as instructed above. I worry about the content of the list traffic, they worry about traffic delivery.

Admins who are following best practices will try to remain logged in as normal users as much as possible, for a variety of very good reasons. The more admins can do without compromising system security, the more they can avoid logging in as admins -- which actually improves security. Granted, it's often so much of a pain to try to do useful work without admin priviledges, and wind up switching back and forth, most don't bother. The Unix "su" command (emulated by Microsoft's "run as") works well for this.

And, Gordon, there are quite legitimate reasons for users to use NWADMIN, especially if you allow them to maintain their own non-critical properties (phone number, etc.). Spend your time worrying about the real security holes. Normal users with access to these utilities can't do anything you won't let them do.

Pity. I thought "run as" was equivalent to "sudo" - IOW, run just this ONE command as the admin user. "su" is different, in that everything you do from that point on is as the admin user, until you exit the su command. But you're right - at home on my Linux box, I do things as a normal user, and sudo (or su, when I have a sequence of command s I need to do) as needed. But I can't su in Win2K, so my NW acct is admin-equivalent. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The SP1 reinstalled 1 of the DLL files, and I've since deleted it. But I still get that inital 10 sec delay when opening my computer. I'm finished building the w/s, but I know when I plop it on the guys desk, he'll be bitching and moaning it's slower than the win98 w/s that I'm removing. I did some off the things @ithowtoo, but what is with these NT clients that make them soooo slow??? THis is IPX only installed on the client.

I saw the same behavior on an IBM T22 ThinkPad laptop with 256 MB RAM and a 1 GHz processor, so I reinstalled Win2K, thinking that the NW client for XP wasn't prime-time ready. I'm running XP Pro on an IBM NetVista desktop with the 4.83 client and I don't see these problems, so I'm wondering if it's hardware-related, like desktop vs. laptop or some other weirdness.

A center tapped supply with a center tapped resistive load can have the center tap removed with no effect. Ohm's Law prevails. As you suggest, taking the concern to an appropriate discussion group would be a good idea. Joe D.

Pity. I thought "run as" was equivalent to "sudo" - IOW, run just this ONE command as the admin user. "su" is different, in that everything you do from that point on is as the admin user, until you exit the su command. But you're right - at home on my Linux box, I do things as a normal user, and sudo (or su, when I have a sequence of command s I need to do) as needed. But I can't su in Win2K, so my NW acct is admin- equivalent.
