Resolution
Verify the following configuration is in place.
1. You have a local user (on the local windows server (NOT a domain user) and eDirectory user with the same username and password.
2. On the Windows server for the local user account on Windows.
* Add the user account to the Administrators group.
* Deselect any options that force the account password to be changed or that cause it to expire.
* In Administrative Tools, access Local Security Policy > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment and add the account to the Log On as a Service policy.
3. In eDirectory, on the NetWare server where the GroupWise domain database resides:
* Use the same username and password you used for the account on the driver’s server.
* For a NetWare server, use iManager or ConsoleOne® to give the user account Read, Write, Create, Erase, Modify, and File Scan access to the GroupWise domain directory and subdirectories.
4. After adding the user to the Log On as a Service policy, reboot the windows server running the remote loader.

Cause
In this case, the user was a AD domain user and not a local user on the window server.
