Network Deployment Manager shows as "Unknown" under "System Administration" -> "Nodes" in the WebSphere Application Server 5.0 Administration console.
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
Why do I see that my Network Deployment Manager's status is Unknown when I know it's running because I have the admin console open to it?
 
Solution
The console is inspecting the directory structure and XML files to determine if a node is defined.

The Network Deployment Manager has the same directory and XML files as a true node, hence it will show up under the nodes. But the Network Deployment Manager is not a node so it will always have a status of "Unknown".

This can be ignored and ND will function properly.

This should be corrected in subsequent fixpack.
