Hi,
I've just had the same problem, my set up is slightly different, I have a
second gigabit network card installed, with a different IP address to the
client, IP and DNS names tie up.

I was getting the same error message when I specified All in the savesets,
if you specify the individual partitions it worked.

I have a call out with Sun re issue.

I'm not to familiar with NT4, so forgive me.  Here are a couple of options
to try:

Make sure that no other clients configured on your Networker server have
the same alias specified under their Preferences tab.  I believe this was
a problem I had once that generated authtype nsrexec errors.

Other than that, you can try running the following on the failing client
system.  If you see some errors stating that client XXXXX is NOT XXXXX,
then there is a resolution problem somewhere.

  savefs.exe -s <networker-server> -c <client-name> -g <client's group> -p
-l full -R -vvvvv

If no luck with that, then blank your hosts file on the failing client
system and paste-in the contents of a default-installation NT4 hosts file.
I've seen some Networker issues due to tabs in host files, etc.  This also
solved an authtype nsrexec problem for me once.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [Networker] nsrexec: authtype nsrexec HELP !!!

NetWorkers,

I'm at my wits end with this one. Any light anyone can shed on this
greatfully appreciated!!!

I have a Windows NT 4 SP6a client which I installed NetWorker
7.1 client on
to add to the backup schedule. Client has a single 100Mbit
network card
(Intel) and 512MB RAM with 10GB of data. The server is a file
server and has
McAfee installed on it.

Nothing unusual about the client to make me think there were
going to be
problems, but running a probe on the client returns the error message:

nsrexec: authtype nsrexec

There is no other error message associated with this, which
is strange as
you normally get another error message which shows you where
the problem
really is.

Backup Server is Windows 2003, NetWorker 7.1 on same subnet as backup
client.

Ok, so to summarise what checking I've done since:

- ping short & long name from client to server (& vice versa)
- ping IP address from client to server (& vice versa)
- check through name resolution databases (cleared WINS,
removed use of DNS
from backup server and client)
- nsradmin -s <client> -p 390113 connects and works successfully
- nwadmin and winworkr can connect to server successfully
- emptied SERVERS file, restarted services
- downgraded client version to 6.1.4
- upgraded device driver for network card on client
- swapped network card for a 3com and tried that
- stopped every service on the client which isn't part of core NT
- reapplied service pack 6a
- run nsrexecd and nsrd in debug mode during backups -
nothing looks unusal!

There's another server here which is pretty much identical to
the client I'm
trying to backup - it works fine. I've compared the 2 and can
see no real
differences.

In desperation I removed 6.1.4 from the client and installed
6.1.3 as a
backup server onto the client to see if the client was ok.
Interesting the
client cannot backup itself, again giving the same message!

Also, if try to perform a directed recovery from the 6.1.3 machine by
running winworkr on another machine in my environment it will
allow me to
select the source machine, destination machine then says
"Unable to Receive"
in winworkr.

Could anyone give me any suggestions as to what I could try
now please? I've
run out of things to test!

Cheers

Mark
