Monitoring Service
Novell ZENworks 6.5 Server Management - ZSM6.5 Management and
Monitoring Service
Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management - ZSM7 Management and

Situation
After installing the Novell Windows Server Management Agent, the Windows Server Application Event log contains:
Error:
Source: NT Diag,
Description:
N_NTDIAG5010E: socket call failed.
Warning: Source: NT FindMW Description: FINDMW001005E: Unable to create IPX socket. Make sure you have IPX installed.
Resolution
This is expected behavior if IPX is not installed / configured on the server. Turning off the messages is not an option. It will not have any impact on the HOSTMIB implementation for the Novell server agent.
