not a valid address for an Inventory service

[acymlf]

I keep getting the following message on my netware console.

[A0600101:400000A01F08:26F5] is currently not a valid address for an Inventory Service or the inventory is stopped.

My version of Netware is 5.1

What can be the problem

Thanks in advance.

Is the MAC Address the same with each message that you receive, or does it change?

Sounds like you don't have a workstation object created.

I'm assuming that you are running ZENWorks.

TheLad... any ideas? You are the ZENWorks Guru!!!

Good Luck!

The MAC address is the same everytime.

What do u mean when u say I dont have a workstation object created?

Thanks

Do you import your workstations into the NDS? It might be worth trying to track the workstation down by it's MAC address (if it is a workstation and not a server!).

Try the following troubleshooting TID. It's a bit long-winded to read but may help resolve the issue:
