I have a link on my NT desktop to my NW administration. Then I use the NT to add/change/delete users as well as purging deleted files. As of 2 days ago when I click on the link it does nothing. I can communicate fine with the Novell server. I can see the files, etc.

Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on? I am very Novell illiterate. This was kind of thrown onto my lap.

I am concerned with not being able to update users as well as not being able to delete files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try running the program by double click the nwadmin.exe file. Which is probably located in Z:\public\win32. If you don't have this drive mapping you might have to map it manually. Map the drive to servername/sys:public, the win32 directory is located there. In the win32 directory you should find nwadin32.exe file.

Agree with previous post - it sounds like your shortcut is probably using a mapped drive to the NW server's sys volume and maybe you lost that mapping. You can go directly to the share through Network Neighborhood or manually remap the drive and itshould work fine. Hope this helps!
