Microsoft File and Print Services for NetWare version 3.51

SYMPTOMS

If you have File and print Services for NetWare (FPNW) set up on a primary domain controller (PDC) and a backup domain controller (BDC), Event ID 2630 may be logged in the system log every few minutes. The following message appears:

   Event ID: 2630
   Source: FPNW

   The bindery library failed to connect to \\<PDC server name> for write.
   Bindery operations may be limited"

The following is the hex data returned in Event ID 2630:

   Data:

   0000: c00000022

CAUSE

The BDC is attempting to establish a connection to the PDC using an RPC null session. This is not supported for security accounts manager (SAM) calls because a user context needs to be used.

The hex data returned in the Event ID 2630: maps to be an access denied message from the PDC.
