Unable to Change Previously Used FPNW Server Name

RESOLUTION

Two methods may be used to resolve this issue.

Method #1

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Edit the registry and remove the entries for "<server name>_FPNW" noted above, close Registry Editor, and restart FPNW. Enter the FPNW Server Name you wish to use.

Using this method will have no effect on the Maintain NetWare Compatible Login properties in User Manager.

Method #2

Remove and reinstall FPNW.

This method will remove the NetWare Compatible User properties for all users in User Manager. Once FPNW is reinstalled, the Maintain NetWare Compatible Login choice will be available, but the checkbox will be unchecked for all user accounts. The checkbox must be re-selected for all user accounts that require this property.

Hint: In User Manager, hold down the CTRL key, select individual user accounts, and double-click when the last account is selected. This will bring up the User Properties dialog box. Check the Maintain NetWare Compatible Login checkbox. This will enable this property for all selected users simultaneously. Be sure to verify the other user properties before clicking OK.
