Q.
It seems it's impossible to install the first NetWare 6 server into a tree which has the original Web Server installed, as both introduce a "photo" attribute, but they are different from one another. Any way around this?

Dear Chaos: TID #10066345, entitled "-699 Error When Importing Schema from a NetWare 6 Server," covers this very topic. This TID points out the following:
"There is a problem caused by a difference in the schema SYNTAX between the current production tree and the NetWare 6 tree. It will fail on a schema attribute called 'photo,' 'pager' and 'rbsPageMembership,' although other attributes may be affected as well."
The gist of the TID is for you to first install the shipping version of NetWare 6 on a server in its own tree. Next, apply the NetWare 6 Support Pack 1 (NW6SP1.EXE), remove DS and then install the NetWare 6 server into the NetWare 5.x tree.
You should no longer receive schema errors on that attribute. As an alternative, you can also install NW6SP1.EXE from the CD image.You can find TID #10066345 at http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10066345.htm.
