12.1 Connection Problems

To eliminate unnecessary connection problems, make sure that

The source and destination servers have enough available server and workstation licenses to do

limitations. To check this, do the following:

Run iManager or ConsoleOne

Edit the properties of the User object.

Click the Login Restrictions tab.

Deselect the Limit Concurrent Connections option.

Connections. Detach from all servers and trees that you are not authenticated to, then try

logging in again.
