user: You are replying to All about "MISSING NDS TEMPLATE OBJ".

Write your reply.

assistant: I recently updated an existing server from NetWare 4.1 to
IntranetWare 4.11, including the new NetWare Administrator
(NWADMN3X.EXE).  Using NWADM3X.EXE, I am unable to create
a user template for a container, (template object is missing
from the create menu), and therefore I cannot use a template
for creating a new user.
Using the older NWADMIN.EXE from the 4.1 setup I can use an
existing template, (actually, it's a user object named
USER_TEMPLATE) to create a new user.
1) Is this an issue of something having adjusted the schema?
2) If so, if I delete the user USER_TEMPLATE, can I do
   anything to restore/update the schema default?
Thanks,
Steven Phillips

you prevent the user from dropping into DOS and just having the user logged

We have two netware 3.12 servers on the same network with no probs. I just
added a third one, and the first two can't see it. The new one can see the
two existing servers, but not the other way around. Eg display servers on the
two existing servers will only show each other, but display servers on the
new one will show all three.
And I can't log into the new one from any workstation; I get Unknown file
server. And it doesn't appear with slist.
I am running the same frame type on all three (802.3).
Any ideas?

Write your reply.

assistant: According to Novell, there is a utility on your server to recreate the
schema, which contains the various objects. This will not restore a
user_template object, but will put the template object back in the list. They
suggest you do the following:
Map drive F: to SYS:SYSTEM\SCHEMA
From the public directory, run:
NDSSCH F:AUDITING.SCH
NDSSCH F:NAM.SCH
NDSSCH F:NLS.SCH
NDSSCH F:NRD.SCH
NDSSCH F:NWADMIN.SCH

They wrote:

Write your reply.

assistant: From the console, the supervisor is simply breaking the connection, which
isn't the same as logging off. This typically leaves the client (workstation)
doing the same thing it was doing before the connection is lost, only doing
so without the network. It doesn't normally drop the client to DOS... but
that depends on what the client was doing at the time.
A connection lost in this manner usually requires the user to reboot his
workstation to regain a connection (exceptions do exist).

They wrote:
->   Synthetic Time is being issued on partition "TEST_TREE."
-> Please help me to turn it off.

Write your reply.

assistant: Synthetic time occurs whenever the system time is BEFORE the latest time
stamp in NDS. This usually occurs when someone makes a time adjustment
backwards.
One solution is to bring down the test server completely until after the
latest time stamp, restart the machine, setting the correct time at DOS, then
REBOOTING to make sure the time is read from the system and not just DOS
before going back into NW 4.x.
Synthetic time will EVENTUALLY catch up with the time stamps, but few
administrators have the patience for that.
