Upgrade to eDirectory interrupted.
Resolution
1. Load DSREPAIR - In the upper portion of the screen, check the DS.NLM version. If it says eDirectory (DS.NLM version 85.xx), continue to Step 2. 2. Check the SYS:\_NETWARE directory for NDS.* files. If there are none, the directory has not been upgraded (use NETBASIC, JCMD, TOOLBOX, etc) 3.. Load NWCONFIG | Directory Options | Remove directory services from this server (this should give a message that "Directory Services has already been removed"). 4. Load NWCONFIG | Directory Options | Install Directory Services. The upgrade may continue. 5. Check the SYS:\_NETWARE directory for NDS.* files again. 6. If the NDS.DB and NDS.01 files are present, perform an NDS Health Check - TID 3564075 to verify the health of the upgraded Directory Services.
