Thanks for the info, I was curious on that after seeing the initial post.

That shouldn't have required them to look at source code... That sucks. Good
example of poor documentation both publicly and internally.

Subject: [ActiveDir] MNS user flag - fixed

Last week I posted here questioning what the UF_MNS_ACCOUNT user flag was
and how it got on my users.  We were getting the "Procedure cannot be found"
error when resetting their passwords.

After talking with MS,  they looked at the source code to determine it is
related to the Netware services from a previous domain.   There are KB
articles related to it, but it never references the User flag so I could not
find it.  Searching on NWLOGIN will bring it up in the KB.

Anyway,  the corruption we had was due to userparameters for the user obkect
containing values related to the Netware that the DLL no longer existed for.
Writing scripts to grab the UP's parse them to validate they only contained
NW info, and then NULLing them solved our problem.

I am going to assume MNS stands for Microsoft Netware Services. :)


I just wanted to share in case anyone here runs into this problem in the
future, and it should be googled in the archive. :)
