MORE INFORMATION

Unnumbered Errors

Error Message

Account <USERNAME> cannot be propagated to NetWare servers because the account name is invalid on NetWare servers.

Description

One cause for this error may be if the account name contains spaces. NetWare does not support spaces in account names. In particular, this may happen for many built-in Windows NT Server groups (such as PRINT OPERATORS). If you require this group to propagate to NetWare servers, you must change its name to a valid name (example: PRINT_OPERATORS). Otherwise, no administrator action is necessary.

Error Message

The Sync Agent Account will not propagate the account <USERNAME> to the NetWare servers because it does not know the password of the account.

Description

The account <USERNAME> was NetWare-enabled before Directory Service Manager for NetWare was installed on the server. To cause this account to be propagated, reset the account password.

Error Message

The Sync Agent Service will stop because it can only run on the PDC of the domain.

Description

This error appears on the old primary domain controller when a new primary domain controller begins running in the domain.

Error Message

The Sync Agent Service failed to synchronize the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 1219 ERROR_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_CONFLICT. The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.

Description

This error may occur if a NetWare server is participating in a domain as a backup location for the Account Synchronization database. While the database is being backed up to the server, attempts to synchronize the server will fail. As soon as the backup is complete, synchronization attempts will again succeed. No administrator action is necessary.

Numbered Errors

The Sync Agent Service failed to synchronize the server <SERVERNAME> due to error 31.

The server may be down or affected by timing issues during network communications. The server will be synchronized during the next synchronization period. No administrator action is necessary, unless the errors persist for an extended period. Verify that the server is running and available on the network.

If Error 51 is immediately followed by error 10253 "The Sync Agent Service failed to modify account <account name> on the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10253," the error may be safely ignored. The account will eventually be synchronized correctly.

The Sync Agent Service failed to synchronize the server <SERVERNAME> due to error 53.

The remote computer is not available on the network. These errors frequently occur because of timing issues during communication, or they can be logged repeatedly if a server is down or not available on the network.

The Sync Agent Service could not replicate the database to <SERVERNAME\PATH> because of error 86.

The password used to access this server to back up the account synchronization database may have been changed. To correct the problem, in Synchronization Manager, select Set Database Backup Options from the NetWare Server menu. Then remove and again add this backup path, specifying the current password for the account used to access the backup path.

The Sync Agent Service could not replicate database to <SERVERNAME> because of error 59.

Directory Service Manager for NetWare could not access the server. The server may be down or affected by timing issues during network communications. The server will be synchronized during the next synchronization period. No administrator action is necessary, unless the errors persist for an extended period. Verify that the server is running and available on the network.

The Sync Agent Service could not replicate the database to <SERVERNAME\PATH> because of error 67.

The specified path no longer exists on the server. In Synchronization Manager, select Set Database Backup Options from the NetWare Server menu. Then remove this backup path.

The Sync Agent Service could not replicate the database to \\SERVERNAME\DIRECTORY because of Error 240.

The 240 error is: ERROR_VC_DISCONNECTED The session was canceled. Non specific Network Error.

The Sync Agent Service failed to modify account <<USERNAME>> on the NetWare Server <SERVERNAME> due to error 1219.

Error_Invalid_Message. The format of the specified message name is invalid.

Usually due to a single, momentary problem propagating an account. Normal synchronization corrects the problem with intervention.

The Sync Agent Service failed to sync the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 1219 ERROR_SESSION_CREDENTIAL_CONFLICT The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.

ERROR_REMOTE_SESSION_LIMIT_EXCEEDED

Indicates that a NetWare server did not have any connections available. Directory Service Manager for NetWare logs this error until connections to the NetWare server are available again. No administrator action is necessary.

The Sync Agent Service failed with error 1317 when processing the Password notification for user <USERNAME> ERROR_NO_SUCH_USER. The specified user does not exist.

The Sync Agent Service failed to sync the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 1317 ERROR_NO_SUCH_USER The specified user does not exist.

Check whether the WINNT_SYNC_AGENT account has been deleted from the NetWare server. This account must not be deleted from a NetWare server that has been added to a domain for management.

ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE

This error may occur during an attempted database backup to one of the assigned backup paths and indicates that the server could not be logged on to at that time. Try the operation again, and check to see that the password is correct.

ERROR_NO_SUCH_ALIAS

May indicate that the account synchronization database has become inconsistent because of a previous lack of disk space on the server. If these errors occur often, restore the account synchronization database using a version that was backed up before the disk space problem occurred.

Error: ERROR_NONE_MAPPED

This error may occur if a group was set for propagation, but the change log indicated the group was previously deleted.

ERROR_INTERNAL_DB_CORRUPTION Unable to complete the requested operation because of a catastrophic media failure or data structure corruption on the disk.

The Sync Agent Service change log thread failed with error 1359 ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR.

The Security Account Database contains and internal inconsistency (Also related to the INTERNAL_ERROR above is Error 6: "The Sync Agent Thread failed with Error 6.)

NERR_InternalError

An Internal Windows NT Error occurred. Error has been associated with Database backup. "The Sync Agent Service could not replicate database to \\SERVERNAME\VOLUME\DIRECTORY because of Jet Database error 2140."

Error: (nt\public\sdk\inc\lm.h) NERR_GroupNotFound

Error (nt\public\sdk\inc\lm.h): NERR_UserNotFound

The Sync Agent service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to 10217.

The password is too short. Check to see if domain Account Policy was recently changed to a longer minimum password length. Contact technical support.

The Sync Agent service failed to remove account <USERNAME> from the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10245. (No Object delete privilege.)

The Sync Agent service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10246.

The Sync Agent service failed to add account <USERNAME> to the group <GROUPNAME> on the NW server to error 10249.

The Sync Agent service failed to add account <USERNAME> to group <GROUPNAME> on the NetWare server due to error 10252

The Sync Agent Service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10253.

Ignore this error; the account will eventually be synchronized correctly.

The Sync Agent service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10255.

The Sync Agent Service failed to modify account <USERNAME> on the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10256

Event ID 8032: The Sync Agent Service failed to modify account <Existing Windows NT Acct that was NetWare enabled> on the NetWare server <SERVERNAME> due to error 10257.

Jet Database Errors

The log files probably do not match the database. To correct the problem, run dsmpack. If this is successful, delete all the Jet*.log, Jet*.chk, and Res*.log files in the system32\syncagnt directory. Then start the MSSYNC service again.

May indicate that the account synchronization database has become inconsistent because of a previous lack of disk space on the server. If these errors occur often, restore the account synchronization database using a version that was backed up before the disk space problem occurred.

Check to see if there is enough disk space available on the computers containing the Synchronization Manager database backup paths.

A timing issue occurred with propagating an account change to NetWare servers. The account will be propagated in the next cycle, and no administrator action is necessary.

Indicates that Directory Service Manager for NetWare is trying to propagate to a server which no longer exists in the domain.

A process tried to add a user account to a group after the user account was deleted.

Check to see if there is enough disk space available on the computers containing the Synchronization Manager database backup paths.

Free up disk space on the server.

Check to see if there is enough disk space available on the computers containing the Synchronization Manager database backup paths. If several computers are in the path, the disk space available needs to be checked on each server.
