BorderManager 2.1 to 3.0 upgrade - viewing logs - solved

[Jerry Shenk]

I just upgraded a server from BorderManager 2.1 to 3.0 and at the same time
installed a new BorderManager 3.0 server with VPN. If I go into Nwadmn95,
server, tools, Novell BorderManager, I can load it just fine on the new
server but on the old (upgrade) one, I get an error saying that this snap-in
can't administer anything other than BorderManager 3.0 servers. Everything
else works....http proxy works, the snap-in page reflects the BM3
updates...just this one place where we'd go to view the logs doesn't work.
Anybody have any ideas?

I had this almost done when Novell answered.....there's a hidden file
sys:system\nwcsuall.lcn on the server that was upgraded from BorderManager
2.1. I renamed that file and everything's fine now. It seems like
TID#2947661 would be a great place to include that.
