4123.0. "Changes server's role from Standalone to Backup" by 23535::IVANCHENG () Thu Jan 23 1997 22:40

There are two alpha servers installed with PW v5.0D-ECO3 for VMS.  The 
customer found that the role of the PW server could not be changed from
"STANDALONE" to "BACKUP" by using "NET" command.  

	$ net accounts
	  : 
	  :
	  Server role :			Standlone
	  : 

	$ net accounts /role:backup
	The server's role is changing ....

	Error 86 has occurred.
	The network password entered is incorrect.


However, they said that they could change the role of the server by using 
"ADMIN/PATH".  Therefore, the password of the admin should same as each other.

    
Does anyone has suggestion for the problem ?

Thanks.

    I will check the account on both servers.  However, could you provide 
    more information to resolve the problem ?  
    
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    
    	When using the "net" commands, did he login as admin first?
    
    example follows,
    
    $ net login admin * (password)
    $ net accounts /role:backup
    
    	If this is not done in the correct order, the problem you noted
    will be observed.
