Ok so i've been fighting with an old unixware box for a couple of days now I need to run a report and mail an attatchment every15 mins so i've configured sendmail to relay through the exchange box ( thats the only way out through the firewall) that was fun as it doesnt use sendmail.mc written...

Hi, I've got a table that i use for loading data into the main database, as thus its cleared down after each load, and i need to reset the serial counter field. I do that by using the alter table comand. this all works fine with the dba user that created the table but when i try and do it...

Its looking more and more like all the problems im getting are down to somthing wrong with the disk. not bad enough to show up on a verify but bad enough to corrupt things. if i try and access the one file it brings the server down everytime... I've got a copy of ghost 8.2 and a dos boot disk...

Hi, I've got quite a lot of nw experience 3.12 cne ( ok a bit out of date <LOL>) and build plenty of servers... (3-4-5-6) although not many recently... Ive got 4 other boxes running 6.5 and none of them have given me a problem. This one is the only migration of the 4 the others were virgin...

The machine had been rebooted several times since the install,service pack and migration. and had been running for about 24 hours since the last reboot. cheers G

It was a migration. I installed ne65 then the service pack then did the migration. ( from nw5) the new migrated server has been running for about a week. then started giving problems yesterday

Interestingly I just disabled the logins as i was going to call it a day and wait untill all the existing users had logged out. then on a whim i enabled logins, and low and behold i can log back in and all the drive mappings come back ? any comments ?

Im not sure if this is related to be possible disk problem, the fact we're on sp5 or somthing else, but anyone else come across this. I got the server running ok yesterday, half the people who logged in this am were fine, now though i can log in but the drive mappings dont work. if i try and...

It gets better !!! get on site today, and half the site is logged in ok. others having problems.. I go to the server and everything looks fine no errors anywhere, i can see mail coming in as well. I try to log in lets me in ok. I go to console1 it cant find the gwdomain. mmm i go to file...

I've got a new disk on the way for thursday am, so I'll just have to hope it stays up long enough now i've got norton ghost 2003 & v9 but will they work with server as they need windows of some flavour dont they. do i need another version of it. if i can use what i've got do you have any...

there are 2 disks on the server at the mo, and all the data is on the second disk thats ok. the disks are on a backplane, so i can quickly slam another one in. is there an easy way to transfer the boot partition and the sys volume ( plus the empty data volume) onto an new disk? I've managed...

Hi' I've got a nw6.5 sp5 system that i recently migrated from nw5. after a few hicups on the migration all seemed fine for a couple of weeks. then i get a call this am. users cant login. When i get to the server its reporting its deactivated the SYS vol and another volume ( on the same disk...

Well I've managed to get around it in the end, I disabled nmas on the server by moving the nmas.nlm from the gui and rebooting. That let me log in fine. I've updated the licences vi nwadmin (i've not yet tired putting nmas.nlm back but i dint think i need it ) SInce then i've migrated and...

How do i turn off nmas authentication. if i go into nmas on the advanced tab all i can do is select nds or <default> as the sequence rather than turn it off. selecting either nds or default gives an error (different) when i try and log in. if i select the sequence button i get a no sequences...

Hi i used the migration tool to go from 5 - 6.5 it all seemed to go swimmingly untill after the very last stage. i'd logged into the new server after it had assumed the identity of the old box and checked out a few files. all seemed fine, so i finalized it and tried to log back in. I now get a...
