Resolution
The NetIQ Administration service cannot connect to the ADAM partition. To avoid this issue, promote the domain functional level to Microsoft Windows 2000 Native Mode or higher. Microsoft Windows 2000 Native Mode is a requirement only if you have pre-Windows 2000 domain controllers and DRA does not support pre-Windows 2000 domain controllers. To resolve this issue follow the following steps:
- Promote the domain functional level to Microsoft Windows 2000 Native Mode or higher.
- Recycle ADAM Service and NetIQ Administration Service
- Open DRA and verify ADAM Configuration
Cause
Directory & Resource Administrator Server is Depolyed on a Domain Controller or member Server and SCP events are generated in the ADAM Event log each time the ADAM Service is cycled, or DRA is launched.
Domain Functional Level is not Microsoft Windows 2000 Native Mode or higher.
DRA is running in a Microsoft Windows 2000 Mixed Mode domain.
