If you install File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) on a Windows NT
Standalone Server, not a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Domain
Controller (BDC), that is a member of a Domain, while logged into the
Domain, you may not see the FPNW Service Account, the Supervisor account,
or the options for FPNW under the User Properties.
CAUSE
You may not see the FPNW options in User Manager on a Standalone Server
when you are logged into the Domain from the Server because the focus of
User Manager is the Domain Accounts Database. This should happen only if
FPNW is not installed on the Domain. When using User Manager while logged
into the Domain from a Standalone Server the focus of the utility is the
Domain, not the Server. The Domain and the Stand-alone Server have separate
accounts databases. How you are logged into the Server (Domain Account or
Local Account) determines which database you are administering.
RESOLUTION
If the account is a Domain account, you should log in to the Domain. If the
account is local to the Server, you can log in locally to administer it.
Alternatively, to administer the local account database while you are
logged in to the domain, run User Manager for Domain, choose Select
Domain... from the User menu and enter the local machine name instead of a
domain name (eg. \\mysrvr). This shows the local database instead of the
domain accounts database. The latter is the better method if you want to
grant FPNW access to domain accounts, which is not possible if you are
logged in locally and not validated in the domain.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
