assistant: hi all! i'm running a 3.12 net (4 user) and have been getting the following
error:
1.1.140 Primary interrupt controller detected a lost hardware interrupt.
i've been getting the error once everytime i booted the server but since i
upgraded to a 486/50 (it was a 386/33) i get the message on a every other
second basis. i also have had the server lock up a couple of times too citing
a routing error. any advice would be much appreciated since i'm a real novell
novice.
thanks!

If you want to hang it off the server, you will need a SCSI card that handles
LUN's... (i.e. LOAD AHA2970 slot=17 lun_enable=ff) and then load the
ASPICD with the lun_enable=ff also... I do it here and it works great!...

user: You are replying to All about "NDS Server Object Delete".

Write your reply.

assistant: Here's the setup. A network with multiple 4.1 and 3.12 servers. We brought up
a new 4.1 server and added it to the already existing NDS tree. Well the
server object in the tree showed up as a "unknown" (?) in NWAdmin. The guy
doing the install had the idea of re-installing the server software. He
deleted the server object from the NDS tree and dropped the Netware
partition. During the new install the message came up that a Server with that
name already existed in the main tree. We went and looked in NWAdmin and the
server object was back, and now no longer showed as unknown. This in spite of
the fact that the server was no longer running. When we tried to delete the
server object, we were told that we did not have proper rights to the server
object. We were logged-in as ADMIN and using the Partmgr utility. No matter
what we do we cannot seem to do anything with this server object. How can we
get rid of this server object so we can install the server again? Thanks for
any help.

assistant: Hello DAVID, on 10-13-96 you wrote to TORE HANSEN about WIN NT CLIENT ON
NOVELL 3:
Both you might say. Novell warns about this in an advisory that is on
the latest NSEPRO monthly CD. Novell stated that they had advised
Microsoft of the matter. Also, several people with NT 3.51 workstations
connected to NetWare servers on which they were logged as supervisor
while installing ServicePack 4, phoned me and asked for my help on
getting their servers back in working order.
Anyhow, the problem is easy to reproduce. Give it a shot, and verify the
matter for yourself. Just make sure that you have copies of ATTACH.EXE,
LOGIN.EXE and MAP.EXE somewhere on the path on the C: drive of a
connected workstation before you try it, so that you can get the
DOS/Windows access to the server back quickly afterwards. I would also
suggest first running PKZIP inside of both SYS:LOGIN and SYS:PUBLIC, and
leaving the ZIP archives in those directories, so that you have an exact
reference to get back to.
