Hello Torsten

You need to make an exclude of the licenseobject container as in the example 
below:

EXCLUDE.DIR "NDS:.O=Novell.OU=Aarhus.NLS:Publisher=Novell+NLS:Product=NetWare 5 
Conn SCL+NLS:Version=510"
EXCLUDE.DIR "NDS:.O=Novell.OU=Aarhus.NLS:Publisher=Novell+NLS:Product=NetWare 5 
Server+NLS:Version=510"

By the way... it's not an error according to Novell, it's "Working as designed" 
- in fact kind of silly, they think it shouldn't be allowed to recreate an 
server with license object (was possible until NetWare 5 SP3 I think)), but I 
guess if I have access to the backup... I surely have access to the license 
diskettes ;)

Good luck

Regards
Flemming

Hi,
 
when backing up the NetWare Directory Serivce there always occures an error. 
Following message is displayed: 'ANS1228E Sending of object 
'.[Root].O=treename.OU=containername.NLS:Publisher=Novell+NLS:Product=NetWare 5 
Conn SCL+NLS:Version=510.NLS:License ID=SN:number' failed'. 
Novell says, this error is a known error of Netware. Because when restoring a 
server you always have to re-install the licenses or shouldn t restore this 
server to another hardware with the same license number.
 
What is the 'Exclude'-command in the dsm.opt? Is it possible to use a wildcard 
because we get this problem with NetWare5 and Netware6-servers.
 
Thanks a lot,
Torsten
