Environment

Novell ConsoleOne 1.3.6
Novell GroupWise 6.5.6 Update 2

Situation

After installing the GroupWise 6.5.6 Update 2 patch, ConsoleOne returns an error when opening. The error is:
Processing manifest for registrars in C:\Novell\consoleone\1.2\snapins\GroupWise\GWAminConfig.jar
Loading registrar -> com/novell/gw/admin/config/GWRegistrar.class
NoClassDefFoundError while trying to instantiate registrar com/novell/gw/admin/config/GWRegistrar.class - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/novell/admin/ns/nds/NDSNamespace

Resolution

For some reason that Novell is still looking into, the 6.5.6 Update 2 image has several .jar files in the ConsoleOneExt directory. If they are removed ConsoleOne will again load with no errors. The unneeded files are:
GWAdminCheck.jar
GWAdminConfig.jar
GWAdminCOpts.jar
GWAdminDiag.jar
GWAdminLink.jar
GWAdminNs.jar
GWAdminSnapinUtil.jar
GWAdminView.jar
GWAdminXml.jar
GWdrivergw.jar
GWdriverutil.jar
GWGwac.jar
GWGwia.jar
GWWebAcc.jar
WACommon.jar
WAProviders.jar
WAServlets.jar
The following files are the ones that should be there:
GroupWiseRes.jar
GWAdmin.jar
GWAdminDirectory.jar
GWAdminUtil.jar
njweb.jar
xerces.jar
