SNA Server Services Stay in Stopping State

• Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

After stopping the SNA Server service, the status will show "Stopping," but will never change to an "Inactive" state.

NOTE: This problem has been seen when stopping the TN5250 Service, however other services may be affected as well.

CAUSE
