Err Msg: Remote Control Agent Cannot Load IDIS_IPX.DLL

ID: Q128927

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2

SYMPTOMS

When you start Remote Control on a NetWare client running Windows version 3.x in Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.0, the following error message appears:

Remote Control Agent cannot load idis_ipx.dll

CAUSE

This problem occurs if one or all of the following files are not present in the NetWare client computer:

NWNETAPI.DLL
NWCALLS.DLL
NWIPXSPX.DLL

These files are included with the NetWare client software and are available in the Novell public forum on CompuServe. If you install and run a NetWare client in MS-DOS, the three files above are not required. NWCALLS.DLL and NWIPXSPX.DLL are installed for NetWare clients running Windows version 3.x.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, install the NWNETAPI.DLL file on the NetWare client.

To allow Microsoft Systems Management Server to install the file, place the file in the SITE.SRV\MAINCFG.BOX\CLIENT.SRC\X86.BIN directory on the site server. The Maintenance Manager will replicate the file to all NetWare logon servers. The file will be installed to the MS\SMS\BIN directory on all NetWare clients when users run Client Setup (either manually or through their login script).
