Netscape Groups Are Not Discovered in Microsoft Metadirectory Services (268590)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Metadirectory Services 2.1

This article was previously published under Q268590

SYMPTOMS

The Netscape Management Agent (MA) does not discover groups that are created directly from Netscape Server version 4.1 by using the Netscape console.

CAUSE

This issue can occur because by default, the object class from groups is Top and "groupofuniquenames". In "Advanced Discovery Parameters", the "Requested object classes for lists discovery" is only set to "groupOfNames". Because of this class name difference, Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) discovery is unable to retrieve some native Netscape lists.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, upgrade to MMS version 2.2. This issue is resolved in MMS 2.2.

To work around this issue:

Right-click Netscape MA, and then click Action.
Click Configure MA.
Click the Advanced Discovery Parameters tab.
In the Requested object classes for lists discovery box, add groupofuniquenames.
