In most cases that I have seen, the user account most be used in full dot
notation including the tree name, even though it is in the root.

nwuser            treename\.admin.organization_name:password

don't forget the dot in front of the admin

Anyone have any problems with giving Netware root admin privileges to TSM?
Using a 4.1.3 client on a 4.1 netware server, we get the following when
trying to use the admin account with full root privs:

03/09/2004 13:42:54 ANS1874E Login denied to NetWare Target Service Agent
'[TREENAME1]'.
03/09/2004 13:42:54 ANS1874E Login denied to NetWare Target Service Agent
'[TREENAME1]'.
03/09/2004 13:48:21 ANS1874E Login denied to NetWare Target Service Agent
'[TREENAME2]'.
03/09/2004 13:48:21 ANS1874E Login denied to NetWare Target Service Agent
'[TREENAME2]'.

if we use an account that has separate privs to the trees, we can log in
fine, but cannot  backup the NDS and the web GUI doesn't show the NDS.

we've confirmed that the admin account we're trying to use does indeed
still work and the password is correct.

=====================

When you submit a NetWare for use in backing up both local files and NDS
data, you have to use a top-level NetWare ID (the one with a period at the
beginning of it). A local privileged account won't be able to back up NDS
data, in much the same way that a Windows local admin ID can't be used to
backup data to a remote drive.
