DSMN Errors in Event Viewer with Netware Servers (168547)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q168547 SYMPTOMS
Directory Service Manager for NetWare (DSMN) is installed and successfully
managing NetWare servers. However, an error message continually shows up
in Event Viewer:
Event ID 8026: The sync agent service failed to remove account from
group CONSOLE OPERATORS on the NetWare server <servername> due to
error 10253.
This event will occur for each NetWare server that is being managed by
DSMN.
CAUSE
Arcada Backup (now Seagate) installs a Console Operators group on the
Windows NT server computer. There are no members in this group and
according to Seagate is not necessary for Arcada Backup to function
properly.
The "Console Operators" group will not be copied to NetWare 3.x servers
during the synchronization process because the group name contains a space,
and does not conform to NetWare's group naming convention (In NetWare,
spaces in group names are changed to underscores). NetWare 4.x servers are
not affected by this limitation.
RESOLUTION
Remove the Console Operators group from the Windows NT server computer and
synchronize the domain.
NOTE: If a group is required "console_operators" group name is acceptable.
