607: Unable to proceed due to an Novell eDirectory error.

[griedel]

I was having problems with Auto Workstation Import/Removal (novell-zdm-awsi) so from 7.0.1, I installed ZDML7SP1_IR3a and that fixed it, but now I am having problems with the Inventory Service (novell-zdm-inv).

Here is my ZDMStart (/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/ZDMStart -start):
ZENworks Auto Workstation Import/Removal
Starting novell-zdm-awsi done

Starting novell-proxydhcp done

So I installed ZDML7SP1IR3a_HP3 and here is my startup:

Before I installed the two latest patches, the only thing not working was the Import/Removal service.

Now that is working, but I have 3 others not working, but my main concern is the Inventory Service.

"ndsrepair -U" (unattended repair) does not resolve the issue.

I would appreciate any suggestions on diagnosing or resolving the problem.

P.S. uname -a: Linux <server> 2.6.5-7.314-bigsmp #1 SMP <day/date> i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
P.S.S Novell OES1

Thanks in advance.
