SYMPTOMSDuring a Windows NT password change, the SNA Server Windows 3.x client software may encounter a general protection fault (GPF) and display the following error: This problem occurs if the combined user ID and domain name field length is seven or eight characters. This problem may also lead to a buffer pool corruption error on the server, causing SnaBase to fail abnormally with the following Windows NT application event log errors:
NOTE: The SNA Server 2.0, 2.1 and 2.11 Windows 3.x clients do not support
the Windows NT password change feature if the user's password has expired
or if the user is required to change his or her password on the next
logon.
Password change support was added to the SNA Server Windows 3.x client
software in 2.11 Service Pack 1.
CAUSEThe SNA Server client improperly generates the client logon response to send to the server when the combined user ID and domain are seven or eight characters long. In some cases, this causes an invalid message to be sent to the server, leading to an SnaBase buffer pool error. RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, obtain the hotfix mentioned below. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 2.11 Service Pack 1 and 3.0. A supported fix is now available, and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information. Additional query words: prodsna 2.11.SP1 3.00 SP1
