This article lists six known problems and their workarounds for SNA Server
2.11 running on Windows NT 4.0 (Build 1381 - Final Release).
- The SNA Server Administrator program will encounter an application
exception when using the Select Domain dialog to change focus to
another domain when running on the Windows NT 4.0.
Another possible symptom of this problem is a series of LAN Manager
error messages that appear after selecting the Select Domain option
in the SNA Server Administrator program.
To work around this problem, rename the following SNA Administrator
file:
rename <snaroot>\system\snasfd.dll snasft.211
- SNA Server 2.11 overwrites an older version of license manager
(Liccpa.cpl) on Windows NT 4.0, causing new Windows NT 4.0 license
system features (such as replication and support for secure
certificates) to be disabled.
To resolve this problem, reapply the Windows NT 4.0 version of
Liccpa.cpl to the <winntroot>\System32 directory.
- Eicon WAN Services from SNA Server 2.11 SP1 only works on Windows NT
3.51. SNA Server 2.11 Service Pack 1 includes Eicon WAN Services v3r3,
though this version only works on Windows NT 3.51.
Contact Eicon for an update to Eicon WAN Services to use on Windows NT
4.0.
- On the Help menu, when you click About SNA Server, the following
incorrect information is diplayed:
Microsoft SNA Server for Windows NT
December Server Beta
Administration Program
Version 2.0.0.0
Copyright 1992 Microsoft Corp
This does NOT indicate that an old version of SNA Server
is being used and should be ignored. To determine the actual
revision level of SNA Server, run the "SNAVER" command, click
Browse and select the <snaroot>\system\SNAADMIN.EXE program.
If SNA Server 2.11 SP1 is being used, the lower portion of the
message box will show:
SNAADMIN.EXE Version 2.11.0.309.
- Server-to-server communication over IP routers fails if WINS is used.
See the following knowledge base article for more information on this
problem.
ARTICLE-ID: Q155883
TITLE: NT 4.0 Breaks SNA Server 2.x Server Communication over IP
This article documents the availability of a Windows NT hotfix for
this problem, available through Microsoft product support.
- When you invoke SNARAS connection, Windows NT STOP screen 0x0000001E
appears.
When using the SNA Server 2.11 SP1 SNARAS feature on top of Windows
NT 4.0, the following STOP screen will occur:
STOP 0x1E (unhandled kernel exception)
Parameters: c0000005 80111391 00000000 8014bec0
This problem is fixed in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2. This problem
does not occur when running SNA Server 2.11 SP1 SNARAS on Windows NT
3.51.
Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 is supported on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. This
article will be updated as problems are found and as updates or workarounds
are determined. It is recommended that the latest SNA Server 2.11 service
pack be applied if running on Windows NT 4.0. Microsoft SNA Server 2.0 and
2.1 are not supported on Windows NT 4.0.
Microsoft has confirmed these problems in SNA Server version 2.11 and 2.11
Service Pack 1. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
