Cant Restore NDS

[SiLvERChiC]

I've tried reinstalling my NDS (on a test box) using NWConfig (as it is Netware 5.1) and i keep getting the following error:

Error occured trying to locate the server object in the tree. Error descriptions: no referrals (051-5.00-146)

I've checked everything i can think of including the IPX address. Any suggestions???

I am assuming you followed these steps to backup NDS...

NWCONFIG
DIRECTORY OPTIONS
DIRECTORY BACKUP AND RESTORE OPTIONS
SAVE LOCAL NDS INFORMATION BEFORE HARDWARE UPGRADE

If so, then you should follow these steps to restore NDS...
NWCONFIG
DIRECTORY OPTIONS
DIRECTORY BACKUP AND RESTORE OPTIONS
RESTORE LOCAL NDS INFORMATION AFTER HARDWARE UPGRADE
Press <F3> to modify the path to the BACKUP DS File

This procedure is a good thing to do on a once-a-month basis. It can be used as a good Disaster Recovery method. Just in case something were to happen, you could start fresh with a new install, remove DS, then run the above procedure to restore DS the way it was at the time you create the BACKUP DS File.

Hope this helps!

Good Luck!

Yes that is what i did. However, once i put the path in (after F3), I got the error mentioned above.

If i can figure out whats going wrong with the restore then i'll keep your suggestion in mind and carry it out on a monthly basis. Thanks for that....
