Environment
NetWare 6.5 SP5
NetWare 6.5 SP6
NetWare 6.5 SP7
Novell DNS
Novell iManager 2.7
NetWare 6.5 SP6
NetWare 6.5 SP7
Novell DNS
Novell iManager 2.7
Situation
Using iManager 2.7 to create a DNS zone on a NetWare 6.5 SP5 server
and setting the Zone Type to Forward causes an error to be
displayed, "eDirectory interaction failure".
Resolution
The Zone Type: Forward requires schema extensions that were added
in NetWare 6.5 SP7. Since these schema extensions do not
exist on NetWare 6.5 SP5 iManager can't find what it needs to set up
the zone as a Forward zone. The recommended resolution is to
upgrade to NetWare 6.5 SP7.
