SUMMARY
=======
If File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) is installed on a primary domain
controller (PDC) and must be removed and reinstalled, the NetWare Compatible
Login properties of all such domain users will be lost unless a backup domain
controller (BDC) is present in the domain.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To avoid losing those properties, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that a BDC exists in the domain, and that it has FPNW installed.
2. Before removing FPNW from the PDC, temporarily promote the BDC to a PDC to
retain the user properties.
3. After FPNW has been successfully removed and reinstalled on the BDC (the
former PDC), promote it back to PDC.
