Environment

Novell GroupWise 2014

Situation

You have installed MMC Plugin and start Active Directory and Computers tool to create new users and assign them to a GroupWise PO. All works fine up to a step where you define a user password and you click on Next to assign newly created user to some PO. In that moment the tool crashes.
This does not crash when you run the MMC Plugin on ENG based Windows.

Resolution

A root cause of the problem is missing corresponding localized resource version of the "gwadextenu.dll" file. On English based Windows this file is located in C:\Program Files\Novell\GroupWise MMC Plugin, where the MMC Plugin tool gets installed by default.
A workaround would be to rename existing "gwadextenu.dll" -> "gwadextLOC.dll".
The LOC is a fake language 3-letter code.
This problem is planned to be shipped with coming SP1 version of GW2014.
