Unable to login after imaging and restoring using Acronis software
This document (7012617) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
Environment
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 Workstation Bundle with Universal Restore
Situation
When logging in using the Novell Credential Provider, the following error is displayed
"Waiting for network to initialize" [Cancel]
which never responds, and requires the user press Cancel, then login computer only. A subsequent Red N login also fails, with "A required network service has not started. Please check your logs for details."
Checking the Application log in Event Viewer, two useful errors are listed:
"The Novell Client File System Redirector service depends on the Novell XTCOM Driver service which failed to start because of the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has not enabled devices associated with it."
"The Novell Xplat IoCtl Driver service depends on the Novell XTCOM Driver service which failed to start because of the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has not enabled devices associated with it."
Resolution
Cause
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NICM] key is set to 0x4 (SERVICE_DISABLED). In this state, NICM.SYS is deliberately configured /not/ to start.
