SNA Server Win3x Banyan Client Displays Incorrect Username

Last reviewed: February 1, 1996
Article ID: Q139377

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT, version 2.11

SYMPTOMS

When you use a username of 17 or more characters in the SNA Server Win3.x Banyan logon dialog box, the dialog box truncates the actual username to 16 characters and then appends the domain name to the end. This causes the client to fail with error 546. The user can correct the username once the dialog box appears.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has updated the following files to correct this problem:

   LMCLI.DLL
   IPCLI.DLL
   NWCLI.DLL
   BVCLI.DLL
   WDMOD.DLL
   WLOGTR.DLL
   WNAP.EXE

The fix increases the username field to 32 characters.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
