Netacc, ADDSRVIN and Resync (all three pro 12/01/93
PROCEDURES FOR REPLACING NET.ACC, ADDING A SERVER, AND
SYNCHRONIZING AN ADDITIONAL SERVER WITH THE DOMAIN CONTROLL ER
DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS
1. The additional server fails to start with a NET3062. The
sub-service NETLOGON failed to start.
Possible causes:
a. The additional server password is out of synch with
the domain controller. If the error log has a NET3210,
do the password resynch, Procedure 3, below. This error
may be accompanied by a NET3113, NET3052, NET3056, or
SYS0005.
b. If the additional server or domain controller exhibits
file system corruption (such as documents getting
corrupted, errors stating that the DCDB or the NET.ACC
may be corrupt, or irregular errors when trying to alter
userids, aliases, or access control profiles) the
NET.ACC may be corrupt. First, try booting with the
OS/2 install disks and running CHKDSK drive: /F
If CHKDSK does not resolve the problem, try backing
up the NET.ACC and replacing it with a default copy to test.
Follow Procedures 1 and 2 which follow. You may need to
run Procedure 3, also.
2. Possible explanations of error:
a. The internal password between an additional server
and the domain controller is out of sync.
b. A backup copy of the file NET.ACC was installed on
the domain controller and not reinitialized.
c. The domain controller went down while the additional
server kept running.
d. The workstation went down without a complete Shutdown
procedure (NET STOP SRV, then Shutdown from the
Desktop).
SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION
1. This document details three procedures to correct the above
errors:
a. Procedure 1: Restore a the NET.ACC.
b. Procedure 2: Add the server name into the NET.ACC.
c. Procedure 3: Synchronize an additional server with the
domain controller.
2. One or all of the following procedures may need to be done to
resolve the error.
DETAILS OF RESOLUTION
1. Procedure 1: To replace the NET.ACC:
a. Make a backup copy of the current NET.ACC, leaving
old backups intact.
1) For LAN Server Version 1.3:
(NOTE: Command continues on two lines.)
RENAME d:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC
d:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.BAK
where d: = the drive where the LAN is installed.
2) For LAN Server Version 2.0 or 3.0:
Make a backup copy using the BACKACC command.
b. Rename the startup.cmd:
RENAME STARTUP.CMD *.OLD
c. From the Desktop, shutdown and reboot the workstation.
d. If a previous, non-corrupt backup copy of the NET.ACC
file exists, do one of the following (1 or 2):
1) For LAN Server Version 1.3:
a) Copy the backup NET.ACC into the
\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS subdirectory.
b) Skip to PROCEDURE 2.
2) For LAN Server Version 2.0 or 3.0:
a) Run the RESTACC command (RESTACC d:\pathname).
b) Skip to PROCEDURE 2.
e. If a previous, non-corrupt NET.ACC does not exist,
then do the following:
1) Select one of the following (a or b):
a) For LAN Server Version 1.3, insert the
appropriate disk:
OS/2 EE 1.30 - Disk #7
OS/2 EE 1.30.1 - Disk #6
OS/2 EE 1.30.2 - Disk #6
into Drive A: and unpack the NET.ACC as
follows:
UNPACK A:NET.AC@ d:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS
where d: = the drive where the LAN is
installed.
b. For LAN Server Version 2.0 and 3.0, run the
following command:
NOTE: The following command continues on
two lines.
COPY d:\IBMLAN\INSTALL\NET.ACC
d:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC
where d: = the drive where LAN is installed.
2) The above step copies a new NET.ACC which
contains one userid (USERID with the password
of PASSWORD). After completing the ADDSVRIN
procedure (Procedure 2), recreate the users,
groups, and access control profiles.
3) Continue with Procedure 2.
2. Procedure 2: To imbed the computer name in the NET.ACC
using ADDSVRIN.
a. Complete only one of the following steps:
1) For LAN Server Version 1.3, do the following:
a) Insert the LAN Server Version 1.3 installation
diskette in drive A:
b) Type the following at the command prompt:
UNPACK A:ADDSVRIN.EX@ C:\
2) For LAN Server Version 2.0, the ADDSVRIN file is
part of the installed LAN product.
b. Type the instruction below to run the ADDSVRIN
executable from the root directory:
ADDSVRIN %1 %2 %3
where:
%1 = Indicates the computer name of the server
(as listed in the IBMLAN.INI file).
%2 = Indicates the type of machine.
Enter the number 1 if the server
is an additional server.
Enter the number 2 if the server
is a domain controller.
For LAN Server 3.0 only: Enter
the number 3 if the server is
a backup server.
%3 = Indicates the location of the IBMLAN
directory (eg: C:\IBMLAN)
Example: For a domain controller with a computer
name Test1 and the IBMLAN subdirectory is on C:,
the instruction would be:
ADDSVRIN TEST1 2 C:\IBMLAN
c. Start the server:
NET START SRV
d. Rename startup.old to its original name:
RENAME STARTUP.OLD STARTUP.CMD
3. Procedure 3: To synchronize an additional server
with the domain controller. (Sets the internal passwords
between the servers to the same password.)
a. FOR LAN Server Version 1.3:
On the domain controller, type the following at the
OS/2 command line:
NET STOP NETLOGON
NET START NETLOGON /UPDATE:YES
b. FOR LAN Server 2.0 or 3.0:
Note: In the following commands,
<servername> Use the computer name of the
additional server.
<newpassword> Use the same password for
both commands.
1) On the domain controller, issue the following
commands:
LOGON USERID /P:PASSWORD
NET USER <servername> <newpassword>
LOGOFF
2) On the additional server, issue the following
commands:
LOGON USERID /P:PASSWORD
NET STOP NETLOGON
NET ACCOUNTS /ROLE:STANDALONE
NET USER <servername> <newpassword>
NET ACCOUNTS /ROLE:MEMBER
NET START NETLOGON
3) The domain controller and the additional
server should be synchronized.
c. If you receive errors while doing Step 3b above,
try the following one at a time, then retry Step 3b.
1) Verify that the userid has administrative
privilege.
a) At the OS/2 command prompt, type the
following:
NET USER userid
b) If you get error NET2761, the userid does
not have admin privilege. Do one of the
following (i or ii):
i. Retry Step 3b using a different
administrator ID.
ii. Recreate the default administrator ID
of USERID with the password of PASSWORD.
Be sure USERID has admin privilege.
Retry Step 3b using this password.
2) Try Step 3b with only the requester started:
a) Stop the requester. (This will stop the
requester and the server.)
b) Restart the requester only.
c) Retry Step 3b.
3) Verify that the additional server is listed on
the domain controller by doing the following:
a) On the domain controller, access the LAN
Requester Full Screen Interface.
b) Select Definitions.
c) Select Machine Parameters. If the additional
server is not listed, select ADD and complete
the window with the required information.
d) Exit the LAN Requester Full Screen Interface.
e) Retry Step 3b.
4) If the additional server is listed on the domain
controller, select UPM (User Profile Management)
off the Desktop to verify the additional server is
identified in Manage Users and in Manage Groups.
a) To verify the additional server is identified in
Manage Users, do the following:
i. From the User Profile Management - User
Profile, select Manage from the action
bar.
ii. Select Manage Users.
iii. The User Profile Management - User
Management window lists all users defined
in the current domain. If the additional
server is not listed, select --New-- from
this list and add the additional server.
b) To verify the additional server is identified
in Manage Groups, do the following:
i. From the User Profile Management - User
Profile, select Manage from the action
bar.
ii. Select Manage Groups.
iii. Highlight the group Servers.
iv. From the action bar, select Actions.
v. Select View group from the Actions
pull-down. The additional server's
computer name should be listed.
vi. If it is not listed, from the Actions
pull-down select Update Group and
complete the required information for
the additional server.
c) Retry Step 3b.
