1.1 Remote Management Errors on Windows Workstations

1456: The Remote Management Agent is unable to read information from the eDirectory server. Verify that the workstation object is valid and the Middle Tier Server is up and running

Source: ZENworks Desktop Management; Remote Management Console
Severity: Critical
Possible Cause: The workstation is not authenticated to Novell eDirectory™.
Action: Contact Novell Support.
Possible Cause: The Middle Tier server might be down or configured incorrectly. A Middle Tier Server is required if the managed workstation does not have the Novell Client™ installed.
Action: Contact your system administrator to configure the Middle Tier Server correctly.
Possible Cause: Service Location Protocol (SLP) is not configured correctly for your network. This is required if the managed workstation requires the Novell Client.
Action: Contact your system administrator to configure SLP correctly.
Possible Cause: The error occurs because C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks is no longer a part of the PATH variable on the workstation.
Action: Add C:\Program Files\Novell\.ZENworks directory to the PATH.

1461: The Agent failed to verify the address information. If working across NAT, the option for connections across NAT should be enabled in the property pages

Source: ZENworks Desktop Management; Remote Management Console
Severity: Informational
Possible Cause: The Remote Control policy prohibits accepting connections from a Remote Management Console located across NAT.
Action: Enable the Accept Connections across NAT option in the relevant Remote Control policy.

1463: The Agent failed to verify the port information. If working across NAT, the option for connections across NAT should be enabled in the property pages

Source: ZENworks Desktop Management; Remote Management Console
Severity: Informational
Possible Cause: The Remote Control policy prohibits accepting connections from a Remote Management Console located across NAT.
Action: Enable the Accept Connections across NAT option in the relevant Remote Control policy.

1481: Unable to obtain the DN of the remote operator logged in to eDirectory

Source: ZENworks Desktop Management; Remote Management Console
Severity: Informational
Possible Cause: A new user has logged into the eDirectory tree after Novell ConsoleOne® was started.
Action: Refresh ConsoleOne.

1487: You are attempting to launch the operation from an obsolete or invalid workstation object. Verify that the workstation object is valid

Source: ZENworks Desktop Management; Remote Management Console
Severity: Informational
Possible Cause: The managed workstation has been imported as a different workstation object in the tree and the object from where you are attempting to launch the remote operation is invalid.
Action: Launch the Remote Management operation from the correct workstation object corresponding to the managed workstation.

1759: The selected user has not logged in to any workstation

Source: ZENworks Desktop Management; Remote Management snap-in
Severity: Informational
Possible Cause: The eDirectory server was restarted after the user logged in to the eDirectory tree.
Action: The user on the managed workstation needs to log in to eDirectory.
Possible Cause: The preferred protocol in the Novell Client properties from where the user logged in is IPX™.
Action: Do the following:
  1. Ensure that the preferred protocol is IP by right-clicking the Novell Client, then click NetWare Connections.

  2. To change the preferred protocol, select Novell Client > Properties > IP Protocol. If the preferred protocol is IPX, disable IPX from the Protocols List in NetWare Connections.

  3. Log in to the eDirectory tree again.
