SUMMARY
Directory Service Manager for NetWare writes logged errors and warnings to
the Windows NT Server Application Log. The following list shows some
messages you might see in the Application Log, and what you should do if
you see them.
To view the application log, use Event Viewer. On the Log menu, click
Application.
Several sections of errors are listed:
- The first section contains errors not associated with an error number.
- The second section of errors, which includes error numbers, list the
errors in numerical order, with lowest numbers first.
- The third section lists Jet Database errors.
Many, but not all, of these errors are described in the Microsoft Services
for NetWare Administrator's Guide for Windows NT Server version 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
Unnumbered Errors
Error Message
Account <USERNAME> cannot be propagated to NetWare servers because the
account name is invalid on NetWare servers.
Description
One cause for this error may be if the account name contains spaces.
NetWare does not support spaces in account names. In particular, this
may happen for many built-in Windows NT Server groups (such as PRINT
OPERATORS). If you require this group to propagate to NetWare servers,
you must change its name to a valid name (example: PRINT_OPERATORS).
Otherwise, no administrator action is necessary.
Error Message
The Sync Agent Account will not propagate the account <USERNAME> to the
NetWare servers because it does not know the password of the account.
Description
The account <USERNAME> was NetWare-enabled before Directory Service
Manager for NetWare was installed on the server. To cause this account
to be propagated, reset the account password.
Error Message
The Sync Agent Service will stop because it can only run on the PDC of
the domain.
Description
This error appears on the old primary domain controller when a new
primary domain controller begins running in the domain.
Error Message
The Sync Agent Service failed to synchronize the NetWare server
<SERVERNAME> due to error 1219 ERROR_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_CONFLICT. The
credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.
Description
This error may occur if a NetWare server is participating in a domain as
a backup location for the Account Synchronization database. While the
database is being backed up to the server, attempts to synchronize the
server will fail. As soon as the backup is complete, synchronization
attempts will again succeed. No administrator action is necessary.
Numbered Errors
31:
The Sync Agent Service failed to synchronize the server <SERVERNAME> due
to error 31.
The server may be down or affected by timing issues during network
communications. The server will be synchronized during the next
synchronization period. No administrator action is necessary, unless the
errors persist for an extended period. Verify that the server is running
and available on the network.
51:
If Error 51 is immediately followed by error 10253 "The Sync Agent
Service failed to modify account <account name> on the NetWare server
<SERVERNAME> due to error 10253," the error may be safely ignored. The
account will eventually be synchronized correctly.
53:
The Sync Agent Service failed to synchronize the server <SERVERNAME> due
to error 53.
The remote computer is not available on the network. These errors
frequently occur because of timing issues during communication, or they
can be logged repeatedly if a server is down or not available on the
network.
58:
The Sync Agent Service could not replicate the database to
<SERVERNAME\PATH> because of error 86.
The password used to access this server to back up the account
synchronization database may have been changed. To correct the problem,
in Synchronization Manager, select Set Database Backup Options from the
NetWare Server menu. Then remove and again add this backup path,
specifying the current password for the account used to access the
backup path.
59:
The Sync Agent Service could not replicate database to <SERVERNAME>
because of error 59.
Directory Service Manager for NetWare could not access the server. The
server may be down or affected by timing issues during network
communications. The server will be synchronized during the next
synchronization period. No administrator action is necessary, unless the
errors persist for an extended period. Verify that the server is running
and available on the network.
67:
The Sync Agent Service could not replicate the database to
<SERVERNAME\PATH> because of error 67.
The specified path no longer exists on the server. In Synchronization
Manager, select Set Database Backup Options from the NetWare Server
menu. Then remove this backup path.
240:
The Sync Agent Service could not replicate the database to
\\SERVERNAME\DIRECTORY because of Error 240.
The 240 error is: ERROR_VC_DISCONNECTED The session was canceled. Non
specific Network Error.
1217:
The Sync Agent Service failed to modify account <<USERNAME>> on the
NetWare Server <SERVERNAME> due to error 1219.
Error_Invalid_Message. The format of the specified message name is
invalid.
Usually due to a single, momentary problem propagating an account.
Normal synchronization corrects the problem with intervention.
1219:
The Sync Agent Service failed to sync the NetWare server <SERVERNAME>
due to error 1219 ERROR_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_CONFLICT The credentials
supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.
1220:
ERROR_REMOTE_SESSION_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
Indicates that a NetWare server did not have any connections available.
Directory Service Manager for NetWare logs this error until connections
to the NetWare server are available again. No administrator action is
necessary.
1317:
The Sync Agent Service failed with error 1317 when processing the
Password notification for user <USERNAME> ERROR_NO_SUCH_USER. The
specified user does not exist.
1317:
The Sync Agent Service failed to sync the NetWare server <SERVERNAME>
due to error 1317 ERROR_NO_SUCH_USER The specified user does not exist.
Check whether the WINNT_SYNC_AGENT account has been deleted from the
NetWare server. This account must not be deleted from a NetWare server
that has been added to a domain for management.
1326:
ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE
This error may occur during an attempted database backup to one of the
assigned backup paths and indicates that the server could not be logged
on to at that time. Try the operation again, and check to see that the
password is correct.
1376:
ERROR_NO_SUCH_ALIAS
May indicate that the account synchronization database has become
inconsistent because of a previous lack of disk space on the server. If
these errors occur often, restore the account synchronization database
using a version that was backed up before the disk space problem
occurred.
1332:
Error: ERROR_NONE_MAPPED
This error may occur if a group was set for propagation, but the change
log indicated the group was previously deleted.
1358:
ERROR_INTERNAL_DB_CORRUPTION
Unable to complete the requested operation because of a catastrophic
media failure or data structure corruption on the disk.
1359:
The Sync Agent Service change log thread failed with error 1359
ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR.
The Security Account Database contains and internal inconsistency
(Also related to the INTERNAL_ERROR above is Error 6: "The Sync Agent
Thread failed with Error 6.)
2140:
NERR_InternalError
An Internal Windows NT Error occurred. Error has been associated with
Database backup. "The Sync Agent Service could not replicate database to
\\SERVERNAME\VOLUME\DIRECTORY because of Jet Database error 2140."
2220:
Error: (nt\public\sdk\inc\lm.h) NERR_GroupNotFound
2221:
Error (nt\public\sdk\inc\lm.h): NERR_UserNotFound
10217:
The Sync Agent service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the
NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to 10217.
The password is too short. Check to see if domain Account Policy was
recently changed to a longer minimum password length. Contact technical
support.
10245:
The Sync Agent service failed to remove account <USERNAME> from the
NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10245.
(No Object delete privilege.)
10246:
The Sync Agent service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the
NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10246.
10249:
The Sync Agent service failed to add account <USERNAME> to the group
<GROUPNAME> on the NW server to error 10249.
10252:
The Sync Agent service failed to add account <USERNAME> to group
<GROUPNAME> on the NetWare server due to error 10252
10253:
The Sync Agent Service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the
NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10253.
Ignore this error; the account will eventually be synchronized
correctly.
10255:
The Sync Agent service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the
NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10255.
10256:
The Sync Agent Service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the
NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10256
10257:

Windows NT Acct that was NetWare enabled> on the NetWare server
<SERVERNAME> due to error 10257.
Jet Database Errors
Jet Error 530: JET_errBadLogSignature
The log files probably do not match the database. To correct the
problem, run dsmpack. If this is successful, delete all the Jet*.log,
Jet*.chk, and Res*.log files in the system32\syncagnt directory. Then
start the MSSYNC service again.
Jet Error 1004: JET_wrnColumnNull
May indicate that the account synchronization database has become
inconsistent because of a previous lack of disk space on the server. If
these errors occur often, restore the account synchronization database
using a version that was backed up before the disk space problem
occurred.
Jet Error -1032: JET_errFileAccessDenied
Check to see if there is enough disk space available on the computers
containing the Synchronization Manager database backup paths.
Jet Error -1102: JET_errWriteLock
A timing issue occurred with propagating an account change to NetWare
servers. The account will be propagated in the next cycle, and no
administrator action is necessary.
Jet Error -1507: JET_errColumnNotFound
Indicates that Directory Service Manager for NetWare is trying to
propagate to a server which no longer exists in the domain.
Jet Error -1603: JET_errNoCurrentRecord
A process tried to add a user account to a group after the user account
was deleted.
Jet Error -1801: Jet_errDiskFull
Check to see if there is enough disk space available on the computers
containing the Synchronization Manager database backup paths.
Jet Error -1808: JET_errDiskFull
Free up disk space on the server.
Jet Error -1811: Jet_errFileNotFound
Check to see if there is enough disk space available on the computers
containing the Synchronization Manager database backup paths. If several
computers are in the path, the disk space available needs to be checked
on each server.
