Hard to say why it's not authenticating to the Netware host but IIRC the service is running as system and does not authenticate to the Netware host. I use NT Wrapper to connect to my bindery host since it has the capability of running as a specific user to make the Netware connection.
The NT Wrapper allows standard Win32 applications or scripts to be run as a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 Service.
Features:
· Easy configuration thru a GUI and simple INI files.
· Prioritization of sub-processes.
· Custom environments.
· CPU binding
· Redirecting of Stdout/Stderr to file
· Logging to the event log and to disk.
· The capability to run multiple applications in a
single NT Wrapper service instance.
· Monitoring of a service in the sys-tray.
