RE: QNTC -- MIDRANGE-L

Oops, forgot about your security question.....   QSECOFR is probably not
known to the NT server you are trying to access.  You will need to run this
job with a user profile that has admin authority to the servers you wish to
save.  If your windows systems are members of a domain, you could set up a
domain user with admin rights to all the NT servers.  You need identical
username and password on both the AS400 and the NT domain.  The AS400
netserver must be configured to the same domain as the target NT boxes.
