Question

login error code 8819

Asked by: at555555

We have 2 brand new laptops(running 2000) with 4.83 client trying to login to 4.11 netware server.  All users can log in to the network from the laptop, except one.  When this user tries to login it says
LOGIN-4.22.00-870: An unknown error was returned during LOGIN's attempt to attach. Error code: 8819.

This user can login from other computers on the network running 2000 and same client.

Does that laptop have the IPX protocol installed and bound to the NetWare Client?

NetWare v4.11 is about 8 years old and only uses IPX. By moving to NetWare v5.x or v6.x (latest version is v6.5) you can eliminate IPX for client-to-server communication.

 

by: at555555Posted on 2003-09-09 at 07:05:19ID: 9320465

Yes, the client has ipx protocol installed.  Other users can log in from this laptop, so it is communicating with the server.

 

by: PsiCopPosted on 2003-09-09 at 08:06:18ID: 9321039

TID http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10022465.htm seems to cover this issue and recommends running DSREPAIR to repair the NDS database. It refers specifically to this version of NetWare and this specific error message/symptom.

Or, your licensing objects may be corrupted, as suggested by this TID http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10067212.htm - altho that refers to NetWare v5.x



 

by: at555555Posted on 2003-09-09 at 15:46:35ID: 9324722

I ran the dsrepair as mentioned, but there were no errors.... the problem persists.

As for the the other TID, it doesn't seem to be a licensing issue as others can log on immediately after.  And the username that can't log on from the laptop can log on anywhere else.  

I have noticed another issue though.  When users are logged on from the laptop, there are some folders that they can't see any contents in, yet if the same person logs on elsewhere the contents work fine.

 

by: d50041Posted on 2003-09-10 at 05:33:52ID: 9328384

I recommend removing and reinstalling the Netware client, making sure to select Custom install and IPX only, then deselect all unused options.  Sometimes a bad client install will result in irritations such as you are experiencing.  To uninstall select My Network Places, then Properties; selct Local Connection, then Properties, choose the Netware client then the Uninstall button.

 

by: PsiCopPosted on 2003-09-10 at 06:28:48ID: 9328780

Yeah, try what d50041 suggests - strip the client, then re-install bare-bones. Don't turn on anything you don't have to.

 

by: at555555Posted on 2003-09-10 at 11:14:12ID: 9330932

I uninstalled the client and installed it with only ipx and nothing else and it still gives me the same error.

I then uninstalled the client and installed the client service for netware(windows version).  If i attempt to connect to the server with this client, it says "incorrect password or unknown username for: \\servername\"
yet I can login with the same username and pw from a desktop sitting right next to it.

If i connect to the network from the laptop using the  windows client(the one that comes with windows) and a username that always works, I can see the files that aren't there if I connect with the Novell client from the laptop.

I am at a loss...

In the application log I am getting two information

The description for Event ID (0) in Source (RoamMgr) cannot be found.  The local computer may not have the necessary registry information of message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.  The following information is part of the event: Service Started.

The description for Event ID (0) in Source (RegSrvc) cannot be found.  The local computer may not have the necessary registry information of message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer.  The following information is part of the event: Service Started.

The Windoze Client for NetWare sucks. It is utter garbage, and was deliberately written that way by the kidz in Redmond. Don't use it.

Facts:
Subject user can log into other computers on the same network and has assigned access.
When other users are logged on using the subject laptop, there are some folders that they can't see any contents in, yet if the same person logs on elsewhere the contents work fine.

Questions:
Do both laptops have the same image?
Are both laptops members of the same Workgroup or AD?

Opinion:
If it's not NDS as the details mining has uncovered, then it must be User or Workstation related. The user works fine at other workstation than what is the environmental difference?

I'd look at the following: User groups (NW, OS and/or AD), User ZENworks policies (DLU), and Workstation policies (NW, OS and/or AD.) Something just doesn't smell right with the workstation.
