NWCONFIG-X-359: Novell eDirectory has previously been installed on this server. Do NOT reinstall unless absolutely necessary. eDirectory is a database of information distributed across multiple servers. If you reinstall, and if this server contains the only replica of a partition that has links to other subordinate partitions, all subordinate partition information on OTHER servers will become invalid. Reinstallation may invalidate some or all trustee access rights and mail directories (but not file contents) on THIS server.

To skip reinstalling eDirectory, confirm No in the box that follows this message. If you confirm Yes in the box that follows, you must login to eDirectory to delete the server object and downgrade volume IDs before reinstallation. If you have volumes that are not currently mounted, you should switch to the system console (Ctrl+Esc) and mount them now. After installing the server, load and execute DSREPAIR to delete unclaimed trustee IDs. Then reinstall all servers that contain subordinate partitions.

Source:  NWCONFIG.NLM

Explanation:  Normally, you should not reinstall Novell eDirectory after it is been installed.

Action:  Read the information in the message carefully; then proceed accordingly.
