SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to use the Remote Registry service to remotely administer a
computer running the Microsoft Service for NetWare Directory Services (MSNDS),
you may receive one of the following error messages:
- Unable to connect to <computer name>. Make sure that this computer is
on the network, has remote administration enabled, and that both computers
are running remote registry service.
- Unable to connect to <computer name>. Make sure you have permission to
administer the computer.
CAUSE
=====
These errors can occur if any of the following conditions are true:
- You attempt to use the Remote Registry service while you are logged on to a
NetWare Directory Services (NDS) tree, and you are using a server for
user-level security that is part of the same NDS tree.
- You are logging on to an NDS tree and your password on the NDS tree is
different than the password for your account on the server that is providing
user-level security.
- Bindery emulation is not set to the correct container on the NetWare 4.x
server you are using for user-level security.
RESOLUTION
==========
To connect to a remote workstation using the Remote Registry service with MSNDS,
the following requirements must be met:
- Both workstations must be set up for the Remote Registry service.
- Both workstations must have Remote Administration set up correctly. For
additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:
Q141460 How to Install Remote Administration Services
- User-level security must be installed and set to a bindery-based NetWare
server that is not part of the NDS tree. The server can be either a NetWare
3.x server or a NetWare 4.x server with bindery emulation set for the
container where user accounts reside. This server cannot be a member of the
NDS tree you log on to.
- Your password for the NDS tree must be the same as the password on the server
you are using for user-level security.
NOTE: If your password for the user-level security server has been cached, it
is possible to use a different password for logging on to the NDS tree.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Remote Registry service requires the use of user-level security and is
currently a bindery-based tool that does not understand NDS. Therefore, the
server used for user-level security must not be part of the NDS tree you are
logging on to.
