Answer 1

That ran OK and I had to recreate the connection to eDirectory. When I try to launch the ESM Management Console I am still getting those errors in the event viewer. I am not sure what is causing the app to shutdown.
Any other ideas where to check?
Thanks,

Hello,
It looks like the application cannot access the database: Could notcommunicate with the Management Server Database. The databasecommunication is the first place I would look. If this is a managedinstallation then you could run the managementserverinstaller.exe foundin c:\program files\Novell\ESM Single Server\AuthenticationServer\bin
When you execute this executable it will go through checkboxes to makesure the database is connected properly.
Thanks,
