NWCONFIG-X-482: This server is a single reference time source. If there is another directory-enabled server in this eDirectory tree, before you continue to remove eDirectory you should:

1) Press Alt+Esc and enter Set Timesync Type = Secondary at the console prompt.

2) Go to another directory-enabled server in this eDirectory tree, a server that has the time set correctly, and enter Set Timesync Type = Single at the console prompt.

After eDirectory has been removed, update the AUTOEXEC.NCF files on both servers by changing the line set Default Time Server Type = from Single to Secondary in the one case and from Secondary to Single in the other case.

If a TIMESYNC.NLM configuration file (TIMESYNC.CFG) exists on either or both servers, be sure to update it also (via MONITOR.NLM). These steps are necessary to ensure that if the server is taken down and restarted, the time server type will be correct.

Explanation: In the single reference time synchronization method, there must be ONE single reference time server on the network at all times. If the server that Novell eDirectory is being removed from is that single reference server, that role should be assigned to a different server BEFORE removing Novell eDirectory.
