The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS
========

If you run NETADMIN on a Novell NetWare 4.x server from a Windows NT computer,
the following error messsage appears:

  You are not logged into Directory Services.
  You must be logged into Directory Services before you can run NETADMIN.
  The current operation cannot be completed.

If you run NWADMIN on a Novell NetWare 4.x server from a Windows NT computer, one
of the following error messages appear:

  Cannot find NWLOCALE.DLL
  Cannot find NWNET.DLL
  Cannot find NWPSRV.DLL
  Cannot find file %PATH%\NWADMIN.EXE (or one of its components).
  Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required
  libraries are available.

CAUSE
=====

The above programs require an NDS-aware client running the proper NetWare VLM in
order to function properly. The list is not exhaustive and does not include all
of the utilities available with NetWare 4.x. If a utility did not exist prior to
the release of NetWare 4.x it may be assumed that it requires VLM support and
will not work with NT.

STATUS
======

NETADMIN and NWADMIN are currently not supported by Windows NT versions 3.5,
3.51, and 4.0.
