SUMMARY
If File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) is installed on a primary domain controller (PDC) and must be removed and reinstalled, the NetWare Compatible Login properties of all such domain users will be lost unless a backup domain controller (BDC) is present in the domain.
MORE INFORMATION
To avoid losing those properties, perform the following steps:
- Verify that a BDC exists in the domain, and that it has FPNW installed.
- Before removing FPNW from the PDC, temporarily promote the BDC to a PDC to retain the user properties.
- After FPNW has been successfully removed and reinstalled on the BDC (the former PDC), promote it back to PDC.
