Group Policies Are Not Recognized with NETX or VLM (137271)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q137271 SYMPTOMS
Group Policies may not be recognized.
CAUSE
Group Policy resolution does not function with Novell's real-mode NETX and
VLM redirectors.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use the protected-mode Microsoft Client for
NetWare Networks, or the Novell NetWare Client 32 update for Windows 95
(C3295d.exe) available from Novell.
NOTE: The Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks cannot access Novell
NetWare 4.x servers using NetWare Directory Services (NDS) without bindery
emulation enabled on the servers. In addition, programs designed to use
the Novell DOS Requester (Vlm.exe) or Netx.exe exclusively may not
function properly.
To install the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks, follow these steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon.
- Click Add, click Client, and then click Add.
- Click Microsoft, click Client For NetWare Networks, and then click OK
until you return to Control Panel.
STATUS
This behavior is by design. Policies do not work with a real-mode client.
To use policies, you must be using the protected-mode Microsoft client for
NetWare Networks.
