Bindfix Problem
I recently replace an existing Compaq ProSignia server with a newer Compaq Proliant 4500 server. The old server was running NetWare 3.11 with no problems. The new server is running NetWare 3.12 with one problem. If I execute the Bindfix utility I get the same three errors at least 20 times. They are:
Discarding object node with invalid ID.
Discarding property with invalid ID.
Discarding value node with invalid ID.
Everything else has been running great for the past couple months with no other problems. I have researched this error and the best explanation that I found is that this error will occur on a network that is also running 4.x servers. But I am not; I only have an old 3.11 server acting as a CD tower and three NT 4.0 servers.
I did use the vrepair utility to verify no problem with the volume.
Any suggestions,
Mark

You don't use that nasty product that Novell would rather forget called 'NNS' (NetWare Name Service) do you ? This was released prior to the inception of NDS and placed 3.x servers in a 'Domain', administered with NETCON rather than SYSCON. If you don't have the correct bindfix.exe for the product, you could expect the above symptoms.

I have not used a program called super, so I do not think that is it. I tried to download the newer bindfix utilty, but I did have the most current.
Never heard of NNS. I verified that it wasn't on my server.
Any other suggestions...

How did you get your bindery to the new server? And when you run it again do you get the same errors? You may have problems before you moved your information to the new server.
If repeated running of bindfix leaves you with the same errors you may need to open an incident
with Novell to clear it up.
