SNA Server Vines PC-based Service Doesn't Get Created

• Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, 2.11 SP1, 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 3.0 SP3, 4.0, 4.0 SP1

SYMPTOMS

SNA Server registers itself with the Banyan Vines Directory Services when the SNABASE service is started. This is necessary for SNA Server clients that are communicating over the Banyan Vines redirector to connect to SNA Server. If the StreetTalk username is the same as the SNA Server machine name, the Vines StreetTalk server rejects a request from SNA Server to create its PC-based service.

CAUSE

When SNABASE service starts up, it attempts to create a PC-based service with its local StreetTalk Server using the StreetTalk Group name (for example, CNS@Microsoft).

The PC-based service name that SNA Server submits to the Vines StreetTalk server is a combination of the SNA Server computername along with the StreetTalk group name. For example, if the computername is Godzilla, then Godzilla@CNS@Microsoft is the PC-based service submitted by SNA Server.

If there is a StreetTalk username with Godzilla@CNS@Microsoft, then the Banyan Vines server rejects the request (return code 1013) to create a PC- based service.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, change the SNA Server computername or delete the user record from the Vines StreetTalk server. You can do this using the Vines Manage program.
