        is your NDS tree partitioned???
        if it is here is a response I got from somone at IBM

        ADSM development received a message from Novell stating that the
TSANDS.NLM
        for NetWare 5.0 is not working correctly.  This problem has been
fixed with
        TSANDS.NLM for NDS 8.  NDS on NetWare 5.0 is being changes so that
the
        TSANDS.NLM that is working with NDS 8 can be used on NetWare 5.0,
and will
        be resolved in support pack 4.

        Please contact Novell on incident # 2225204, if you have question
        concerning this issue.

              This is what is causing the problem in ADSM in backing up a
        partitioned NDS in Netware 5:
             All ADSM customer trying to backup a partitioned NDS on NetWare
5.00
        cannot.
             In researching ADSM Development found that
'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet'
        does not
             work correctly on NetWare 5.00 with a partitioned NDS.  ADSM
does a
             'NWSMTSScanDataSetBegin' and in the scanControl ADSM set
scanType to
             'NWSM_DO_NOT_TRAVERSE'.  After doing the
'NWSMTSScanDataSetBegin' ADSM
        get the
             sequence number and pass it to 'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet'.  ADSM
expect
        to
             receive each data set under the .[Root] as a child and parent
with out
             traversing the tree.  But 'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet' ignores the
scantype
        flag
             'NWSM_DO_NOT_TRAVERSE' and returns all objects under the tree.

             Because the api ignores the scantype flag it causes problems
for ADSM.
        ADSM
             expects to be able to traverse the tree based on the parent
flag.
        ADSM does
             not expect 'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet' to do this.  As a result
ADSM
        parses and
             NDS object names incorrectly.

             ADSM Development have tested 'NWSMTSScanDataSetBegin' and
        'NWSMTSScanNextDataSet' with scanType of
             'NWSM_DO_NOT_TRAVERSE' with the following Novell NetWare OS's
and they
        work correctly.

                  4.11 with out NDS partitions, using TSANDS.NLM (4.14).
                  4.11 with NDS partitioned, using TSANDS.NLM (4.14).
                  4.20 with out NDS partition.
                  5.00 with out NDS partition, using TSANDS.NLM (5.00).

             It is only on NetWare 5.00 with a partitioned NDS that the
scanType is
        ignored.

             In testing, ADSM Development used the following type of NDS
tree with
        the O=ADSM as a partition.

                       [Root]
                         *ADSM
                         *  *DMMOCK
                         *  *admin
                         *  *DMMOCK_VOL1
                         *  *NLS_LSP_DMMOCK
                         *  *SMS SMDR Group
                            .
                          (and so on)
                            .
                         *  *Development
                         *  *  *Storman
                         *  *  *all adsm users
                         *  *mock
                         *  *DMMOCK SMS RPC
                         *Security

             With scanType set to 'NWSM_DO_NOT_TRAVERSE' I would expect the
        following to be returned:
                   .[Root]
                   .O=ADSM.[Root]
                   .CN=Security.[Root]


             But on NetWare 5.00 with a partitioned NDS set to .ADSM we get
back
        the following
             from scannextdataset, starting with .[Root]:
                   .[Root]
                   .O=ADSM.[Root]
                   .CN=Security.[Root]
                   .CN=DMMOCK.O=ADSM.[Root]
                   .CN=admin.O=ADSM.[Root]
                   .CN=DMMOCK_VOL1.O=ADSM.[Root]

        Subject: Netware 5 NDS


        Hello,

        I know this question has been asked many a time on the list server,
but i
        still haven't found a definitive answer.

        When trying to backup a Netware 5 box it fails when i try to backup
the NDS.
        I have been told that it is a problem with the ADSM API and i have
also been
        told that it is a problem with the API in Netware.

        Could anyone out there who knows the answer please let me know. If
there is
        currently no official fix does anyone know a work around?

        Cheers
