Earlier today I was attempting to install the Active Directory Management Gateway service on a new Server 2003 domain controller and I was rewarded with an error stating:

Setup cannot continue because one or more prerequisites
required to install KB968934 failed.

Oh, what fun. Fortunately for me, some kind folks over at Microsoft’s Technet forums had the answer. There are two hotfixes that need to be installed on a Server 2003 SP2 machine before the AD Management Gateway Service can be installed:

I found that downloading these can be a pain. KB969166 requires a Microsoft download manager and KB969429 will only show a 64-bit download if you’re on a 64-bit machine. You must download it from a 32-bit machine if you’re applying it to a 32-bit server. Also, be prepared to restart your server for KB969429.

Groupwise 7 client crashes on Server 2008 R2

I recently ran into an issue with the GroupWise 7 client crashing on a new terminal server running Server 2008 R2. The error I received was “This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.”

Some searching through Novell’s site revealed that this is a known issue with the GroupWise client not playing well with DEP. Sure enough, adding an exception for the GroupWise client in the DEP configuration resolved the issue. For those who are unsure how to do this:

  1. Right-click on Computer and select Properties.
  2. Click the Advanced System Settings link.
  3. Click the Advanced tab.
  4. Click the Settings button under the Performance section.
  5. Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
  6. Click the Add button under the exceptions list.
  7. Navigate to the grpwise.exe executable and click the Open button.
  8. Click the OK button on each dialog to save your changes.
