We retired our Groupwise server a while back and went to exchange. Our groupwise server was still in our tree and up and running until yesterday. We didn't need it anymore, so one of my coworkers decided to just shut it off. So...I went about searching for a way to safely retire and prune the server from the tree.

I found this... http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-1062130.html

Now the problem is, I cannot find NDSMGR32.exe anywhere on the sys drive of our main netware server. What do I do?

Also if there is another easier way of retiring a netware server let me know.

You don't remove 6.5 servers using NDSMGR32, that was for old versions of NDS not eDirectory - that's why it's no longer installed in public\win32. Is this the only server in the tree? If not, go into ConsoleOne, highlight the server in question, switch the view to partition view and remove any replicas from the server. Allow NDS to sync on all servers in the replica ring prior to proceeding (Important - if in doubt leave it a couple of days).

You can remove the server by using nwconfig - Directory Options - Remove DS from this server. You need to login using this method unless you load nwconfig -dsremove. Having agreed with the various screens (including the dire warnings about this being the only replica if this is a single server tree) DS will be removed and the question asked about rebooting the server. If this is a single server tree, reboot the box and reformat the drive to ensure the server is never coming back. If not, delete all the references in NDS using ConsoleOne (and nwadmin32 for licences etc) and then reboot & format.

Thanks, eventually figured out that Netware 6 made ndsmgr32.exe obsolete.

Nasty - A lot of the windows Novell administration tools are stored on the sys volume for netware.
