Article ID: Q130855

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT, versions 2.0, 2.1, and 2.11

SYMPTOMS

When you back up an SNA Server configuration using SNA Server Admin, you must specify a file extension. If you do not specify a file extension, the following error message appears:

   Error: 3859
   The configuration filename is invalid.
   Verify that a primary or Backup server is running in the domain you
   are trying to administer.

NOTE: This does not happen in SNA Server version 3.0 (Manager).

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, specify a file extension when backing up your configuration file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.0, 2.1, and 2.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
