SMS Administrator Err Msg: Socket () failed, 10047

ID: Q126158

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to use Systems Management Server Administrator to remotely control a NetWare client, the following error message appears and remote control is not available for any NetWare clients:

Socket () failed, 10047

CAUSE

Although remote control of NetWare clients uses IPX sockets, SMS Administrator requires the NetBIOS NWBLINK driver.

MORE INFORMATION

NetBIOS support for NWLINK (NWBLINK) is installed under Windows NT when you install NWLINK. However, if you install a Windows NT service that requires NWLINK, and you have not yet installed NWLINK support, NWBLINK is not installed. This happens when you install Gateway Services for Netware (GSNW) on a Windows NT server.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, remove and reinstall NWLINK so that NWBLINK is installed, and then install the other software that depends on NWLINK.
