Netware Enabled User Unable to Logon to FPNW Server

• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0

SYMPTOMS

A new domain user is created and the Maintain NetWare Compatible Login is checked. The user attempts, but is unable to log on to any File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) server in the domain. If the Maintain NetWare Compatible Login is unchecked, the user is able to log on to the domain successfully.

One of several different error messages may appear on the users computer when they attempt to log on to an FPNW server:

   The password or username you specified is not valid for this resource

   -or-

   User has not been granted the requested logon type at this machine.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION

To workaround the problem, perform the following steps:

1. Start User Manager for Domains.

2. Choose User Rights from the Policies menu.

3. Select the "Access this computer from the network" right.

4. Verify that "Everyone" is included.

5. Click OK.
