issue

TID 2928478 Creating a user using a template which assigns group membership will sometimes fail with a 601 error.

TID 2925653 Cannot set the "Limit grace logins" parameter correctly, when creating a user with a template.

TID 2936217 & TID 2936218 NWAdmnNT is unable to browse or add the [Root] as a queue user or Print Server operator.

TID 2932765 & TID 2934880 Using NWAdmin for NT (NWADMNNT) with a large number of schema extensions causes the snap-in to report that the schema has not been extended. When prompted to extend the schema and selecting OK, the error -47 is returned. This error normally occurs when the schema is larger than the buffer allocated by the snap-in.

TID 2930170 If a user has insufficient rights to modify a group's Member list, NWAdmin would remove the group from the user's Group Membership but would not remove the user from the group's Member list.

For example:
You have two containers OU=A and OU=B, you also have two Admins, AdminA and AdminB. They each have Supervisory rights to their respective OU's. In OU=A there is a user, UserA, in OU=B there is a group, GroupB. UserA is member of GroupB.

If you login as AdminA, goto UserA, Group Membership and remove GroupB, you will receive an error when you press OK. Error is :
     (Error 1059) NetWare Administrator
     Due to an unknown error, the current operation may fail
     Error code: 1719: -602
     or
     Error code: 1719: -672

(Only option is to click OK and you will receive a new error)
     "Due to insufficient rights, unable to modify the object"

UserA reports no group memberships, BUT under "Security Equal To" GroupB is still showing up. GroupB reports that UserA is still a member.
The problem occurs in all 3 versions of NWAdmin (3X, 95, NT).

Using NETAdmin, GroupB is NOT removed from UserA's Group Membership list (due to insufficient rights to modify the Security Equals attribute). NetAdmin is working correctly.

With this updated, NWAdmin (3X, 95, NT) now returns the error "you do not have sufficient rights to delete the object: <groupname>" and works correctly.

Additional fixes from engineering:
NWA_MSG_APPLYTEMPLATE does not send the object name. The object name is empty, only the template name is sent.

NOTIFYCREATEOBJECT only sends the parent context, not the fully distinguished name.
