SMS: Netmon: GPF Occurs When Large String Entered in Name Field

ID: Q182428

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

A general protection (GP) fault may occur in Network Monitor if you enter a string of 49 characters in the Name box of the "Find Network Addresses From Name" dialog box and then run a query.

CAUSE

Even though 49 characters is an excessive number for a machine name, the Name field allows this many characters to be entered. Therefore, it should either allow a query based on the 49 character machine name or it should generate an error message stating that the name length is too long.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post additional information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
