Novell Utilities Do Not Work with Client32 or Client Services for NetWare

ID: Q244858

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Novell Client32 or Microsoft Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) client in Microsoft Windows 2000, 16-bit Novell utilities such as the Whoami, CX, and NList utilities do not run. For example, when you try to run the Whoami utility, you receive the following error message:

Whoami - 4.1.919: This utility could not find a network connection - Error 8836

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because these clients do not support 16-bit programs.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
