Windows 2003 not reachable from Netware Media server
Hi,
I have problems backing up several Windows 2003 servers from the Netware
6.5 Mediaserver. I use BackupExec 9.1.1158.9 (latest version). The setup
used to work with Windows 2000 and NT servers. We replaced the servers with
Windows 2003 R2 (complete reinstall on bare metal) and now it doesn't work
any longer.
I have installed the Netware Media server and Windows remote agent both with
OFO. I can see the Novell servers (also the Novell server with remote agent),
but I cannot see the WIndows 2003 servers. The firewall is disabled and the
service is running on Windows 2003. The servers have been added to the NDMPSVRS.DAT
file.
Can someone help me with this problem?

Re: Windows 2003 not reachable from Netware Media server
The most important thing to check is name resolution...
Can you ping by NAME in both directions? In other words, can you ping
the windows servers from the NetWare media server? And can you ping the
media server from the windows servers? If not, update all hosts files
as necessary and then try again.

Re: Windows 2003 not reachable from Netware Media server
I had a similar problem. I ahd to add the
following to the firewall exceptions:
C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Backup Exec\RANT\beremote.exe
From the following TID:
"After installing Windows 2003 Service Pack 1,
the server cannot be selected in Backup Selections,
or the backup/restore job fails with: "The
resource could not be backed up because an
error occurred while connecting to the Backup
Exec for Windows Servers Remote Agent."
