MFC42.DLL Error
Novell Client runs with MFC42.DLL version 4.21.7022 or later. MFC42.DLL
version 6.00.8267.0 is installed when you install Novell Client. If an older
version is installed over the version installed by Novell Client, the client login
fails with an error message similar to the following:
The ordinal 6453 could not be located in the dynamic link
library MFC42.DLL.
The actual message might vary, depending on the version of MFC42.DLL you
are using.
To recover from this error, reinstall the correct version of MFC42.DLL. You
can find the correct file on the ZENworks CD at:
D:\PRODUCTS\WINNT\I386\LIBS32\MFC42.DLL
Copy the .DLL to the following directory on your workstation:
%SystemRoot%\system32
Copying MFC42.DLL will fail if some component is using the file. If the copy
fails, try renaming %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\MFC42.DLL to
%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\MFC42.OLD and then try copying the new
version again.
Login Restrictions Set for IPX/SPX Prevent User from Logging In
Symptom: Login restrictions are set for IPX/SPX and the node address. When
the administrative workstation is reset, the new client files are automatically
updated and the reboot prompt is displayed. After restarting, the workstations
that are placed in the restriction list as being able to log in as admin and which
now have the new client cannot log in and no administration of the server can
be done.
Cause: This is a problem with preferring the IP protocol. The allowed
addresses assigned in eDirectory
TM
are IPX addresses. If the server is bound
to IP, the clients are designed to prefer this protocol by default. The result is
that the client is attempting to log in to the server using IP but the address is
restricted to only allow IPX addresses, causing an authentication failure. This
is due to the IP address not being stored in eDirectory.
Solution: Do not bind IP to the server until static IP addresses have been
assigned. Or, change your protocol preference to IPX.
