Hi,

Suddently this morning there is a question mark at ADMIN, at one other user and at one of the containers instead of the usual icon/symbol in C1. I haven't installede anything at all at the servers/in NDS.
I have 5 servers, each holding a replica. 3 is NW6, 2 is NW4. I'm reading the NDS and running C1 from a NW6-server.
In iMonitor and DSBROWSE I can see, that the 3 unknown objects all appears in the replicas from the NW4-servers but not in the replicas from NW6.
I have followed the suggestions in TID-10067667 without any luck. What confuses me is, that even though that I run C1 from a "good" partition I see the question marks.

Hope any one can help me out of this one, as the container with the question mark is our main department - preventing me from creating new users :-/

Do your NW6 servers and NW4 server participate in the same replica ring?

It is recomended that no NW4 server participate in a replica ring with any NW6 servers. There are NDS issues if they do.

Thanks for the responce - and sorry for the delay!
Yes, I had done a DSRepair SEVERAL times and the 4.11 and 6-servers participate in the same ring.
As the unknown objects appeared in the replicas from the 4.11-servers (which are a kind of "service-servers" with no users attached) I simply removed the replicas on these servers and within a couple of hours the question marks was gone. And so are my problem, well, at least conserning NDS!

Thanks again for your responce

Part of the reason is that DS 8.6 on NetWare 6 has atributes that DS 6.x on NetWare 4 does notunderstand.
