While in consoleone from a windows workstation, when I try to edit a group or user policy a screen flashes and then disappears, If I click on edit again it tells me that the policy I am trying to edit is currently being edited by another user - If I try using console one from the server I recieve Jave.lang.NoClassDefFound Error:Java/util/arrayList (Our Server is Netware 5.0sp6a with zenworks 3.0 for desktops and Groupwise 5.5) I've tried reinstalling console one but the results remain the same.

Another example of poor support from Novell and why I move most of my clients from Novell to Windows or Linux. Netware is a great product, but it's heck when you have a problem and can't find an answer.

Try running DSRepair on the Server. If that doesn't work, try the novell forums and knowledge base at their site.

You didn't mention which client. Due to M$ shenanigans this is critical, they don't want to make it easy for NetWare clients. You should be using 4.83 SP2 with patch "E". Using that will clear up a lot of connection problems between your Windows desktop and the NetWare server.
You should also download the 1.4.1 java client for optimal performance. good luck, please report back on success or failure.

Hello

1) Java.lang.NoClassDefFound Error:Java/util/arrayList may become from the IP stack version of your netware server. Check compatibility between your IP stack version and your jvm.

2) I also met the "policy is currently being edited by another user " issue. This seems to be a station issue. Copy all C1 file system from your server to another station and try again.

WOW, I guess it's the fashionable thing to criticize Novell. Nothing was said about calling Novell support, so that's quite an assumption there. I would just have to say from the few times I've had to call MS or Novell, a true fix was found in the Novell instances, versus paying MS to have them ultimately say "Reinstall the OS".
Anyway, back to the issue...this may not be the complete resolution, but it sounds like a good start, should get ConsoleOne going at least on your server. From Novell TID 10075788, Install JAVA version 1.3.1 or 1.31a This can be downloaded from download.novell.com. Also, I would suggest trying to update ConsoleOne to 1.3.6, it is currently in the top ten downloads on Novell's main download page.

This happened to me also. Console1 crashed while editing a group policy, after which it would not allow (any) group policies to be edited. Reinstalling Console1 on the same workstation didn't work. After reading Novell TID 10065126, I noticed an empty folder on the workstation called C:\WINNT\System32\gpInUse. This seems to act like a file lock. Deleting it fixed the problem.

That's probably all there is to it, go to your system32 dir and delete the gpinuse folder - had the same prob and it worked for me. As C1 is loading the group policy editor thsi is probably more a fault with M$!
