I've been trying to dynamically create a roaming profile on an NT 4.0 SP 6 machine w/Novell Client for NT 4.6 SP2 and keep getting "The following drive mapping operation could not be completed. The error code was 9002." and an error that the date and time could not be set. Our environment (i.e. NT Policy) is set to allow dynamic creation of profiles and roaming profiles to be stored in the user's home network directory (on a Novell Netware server); we do not use domains. I've obtained relevant info. from both the Microsoft and Novell support sites and tried the suggested solutions...none have worked. Here's what I've tried to-date: 1) Removed and reinstalled Novell Client for NT 4.6 SP2 2) Updated from NT 4.0 SP 4 to NT 4.0 SP 6 3)Changed HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\GinaDLL from NWGINA.DLL to MSGINA.DLL and tried creating the profile...got same errors 4)Created profile as "local", then changed to "roaming"...was not successful. This seems to be occurring only on a particular PC but I would like to avoid re-imaging it if possible. Are you aware of any other options to resolve this problem? Thank you!

I may be wrong on this, but if I'm not, it sure would be a easy fix.

In Microsoft's world I believe that everything has to be within 1 hour. Or in other words you need to have some degree of timesync in place. Check the time on the problem workstation and see if it's off by a few hours or more.

The workstation time is synced with the Novell Netware file server and is only minutes than the NT Workstation only time. Thanks for the response though.
