SYMPTOMS

When you install the Microsoft Client Services for Netware to work with the Novell Netware Management Agent (MA), the MA is unable to discover the Netware server and organizations, and the following error message is generated:
********************************************************************
Start of the LDAP discovery process
DNS problem: 'servername' not reachable - Error code = 11001
LDAP discovery process failed
********************************************************************
** Discovery of organizations failed
** Ensure that the server is currently in operation and check
** configuration parameters such as the host name and the
** host port number

CAUSE

This issue occurs because Netware Management Agents only work with the Intranetware client.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue and permit this MA to run, install the Novell Intranetware client.
