Q.
Dear Ab-end: We are testing our upgrade procedure on our test tree and have run into an issue. We are upgrading from: NDS 7.51 on NetWare 5.1 (Support Pack 2a) servers to NDS 8.512a.
Our initial upgrade steps have been as follows:
NDS Health Check - OK
Copy DSREPAIR.NLM v5.26c from PreeDirD.exe to SYS:SYSTEM
DSREPAIR \ Advanced Options\Global schema\Post Netware 5 Update (master root)
Verified Schema Synchronization
Dsrepair \Repair local database (defaults except No for mail) as part of the Health Check (one last time before the upgrade process, just to be safe)
We see the following errors running DSREPAIR under the action step for each user object:
Error: Adding property 'object class' value: NDSLoginProperties
Have you seen this or have any ideas? -- Erred Out in Elsegundo
A.
Dear Erred: NDSLoginProperties is a NDS V8.x auxiliary class that has things like password expiration, grace logins, etc., in it. This is something you will typically see, as I did when doing my NDS v7.x upgrade to NDS v8.x. This is definitely not a problem, but it is typical for your type of upgrade, though.
