    Server Multiple ABEND’s- regularly

    Did this start happening after SP9 was applied? I bet you were stable with SP8a... We applied SP9 and had random abends..we had to apply a "hotfix" from Novell for SP9 and our Compaq servers. I can't believe Novell engineers didn't tell you the solution for your abends...they are...

    SPX Troubleshooting

    Try the SPX ping. This will verify whether it is the IPX/SPX protocol stack on the new Win98 machines or not. SPX ping itself. Obviously a re-format puts back drivers/dlls that work, so you probably already know it's that...just which ones, that's hard to determine. We standardize our...

    Need help enlarging sys volume.

    Don't forget 4.11 only gives you 7 opportunities to increase the size of your volumes...so..do this wisely...else you a product called servermagic..though it doesn't always work 100%... You can add another hard drive and use that as extra free space to increase volume size..but remember the...

    File Locking

    Go to LOAD MONITOR Go to file locks...go to where the file is.. Kick off everyone using that file.. Now a supervisor should be able to delete that file, etc.. You need to re-think your Watchdog settings if you get a lot of file locks.. Do a search on Novell's site for Watchdog....

    Registry settings won't download from NDS Object

    NT and WIN2K won't allow registry modifications UNLESS the user that is logged in IS a local administrator. you can solve this by using Novell Workstaion Manager...or if you have a domain, Add DOMAINNAME\DOMAIN USERS to the local administrators group. You can use netdom.exe to do this...

    Browsing and WINS and Trusts (oh my)

    I like the replies above... To answer your Net Neighborhood question... it's the master browser of the subnet the computers are on. If you have a large office, I bet Net Neighborhood looks different on differen machines in different subnets. On your servers, you may want to turn browser...

    Forcing workstation to be authenticated by a particular BDC.

    Each machine authenticates to the domain controller of the domain they are logging into, based on which controller responds first... it does cost metrics for this... If you want to "isolate" this for whatever reason...you need to segment this at the switch level..so that clients will...

    NBTSTAT not finding HOST

    NBTSTAT only shows a netbios table that your NIC has cached up... it's not exactly a tool to test WINS. In fact, each NIC only has one mac address, but there may be various types of names registered in WINS for various uses (like if it is a domain controller, a master browser, bla bla) You may...

    SPX Troubleshooting

    Did you specify an IPX network number on the workstations that is the same as what the Notes server is on? I didn't understand why you won't use IP...DHCP broadcast packets are just that..they won't route over to another network..you should have any "conflicts" ? If anything, you can...

    Mixed 4.11/5.0 tree possible problem

    I think it is the design of your NDS tree that's causing this issue. First, in your login script, are you specifying from where NAL runs? If you have all WIN32 desktops, we've found it to be faster to run Z:\NALWIN32 versus running NAL and have *it* decide which platform to run... When you go...

    Changing ini files across a whole network?

    Are these files "locked" by the window system ? If not, in your login scripts, rename the old files and have a command to just copy the correct files over. Your login script would just say: rename c:\windows\win.ini win.old copy shareddriveletter:\sharename\win.ini c:\windows\win.ini...

    Login script with net use

    Let's troubleshoot this...obviously the share, the permissions, the domain account and pw are correct, because in a WIN32 environment, it all works, right ? (ie. You can do this from Network Neighborhood) From a DOS environment, it doesn't work... So what are the differences in the DOS env. vs...
