I'm trying to apply the 410pt6 patches to a server I'm getting ready to 
deploy.  It's a Compaq ProLiant 5000.  I've installed NW 4.10 okay and it 
runs fine before installing/applying 410pt6.  I apply the patches, down 
the server to restart, cycle the power, then restart the server.  When 
SERVER.EXE runs, the hard drive light blinks, then the server hangs 
-forever- (that is, until I cycle the power).  If I go into \nwserver and 
rename SERVER.OLD to SERVER.EXE, it will start and run fine - but no 
patches.

I've successfully applied 410pt6 to a Dell Dimension I'm using for NW 
Connect and am using the same archive file on the Compaq.

Any ideas?  Suggestions?  Hints?????

Thanks!

I've successfully applied this patch to several 1500's but not a 5000.  
One thing that you might want to try is to go to Compaq's web site and 
download all the System and ROM packs available to the 5000 and apply 
them.  Then try the patch again.

Novell mentions something in the install instructions for the 410PT6
patches that some have found the "Die-Hard" virus.  Usually the system
will give an error reading the load file SERVER.EXE if this virus is
present.  Their solution is to:
1. scan the DOS boot drive and clean it of all viruses
2. rename server.old or mserver.old to server.exe or mserver.exe
3. run lswap.exe
4. run newly modified server.exe or mserver.exe if running sftiii

I've installed the 410PT6 patches to a ProLiant 1500 without any problems.
