Eicon Drivers not Copied when Updating to SNA 3.0 SP1

• Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0 SP1
  on the following platforms: NT

SYMPTOMS

The Eicon SDLC or X.25 link services will not start after upgrading an SNA Server 3.0 configuration to SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 1. This problem will not occur when running SETUP.EXE from SNA Server 3.0 Refresh CD that incorporates Service Pack 1.

CAUSE

This is due to a bad statement in the UPDATE.INI file from SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 1. Running UPDATE.EXE resulted in the current EC<SDLC/X25>.DLL being renamed to EC<SDLC/X25>.DL$, and the updated EC<SDLC/X25>.DLL being copied only in <SnaRoot>\system\hwsetup\ec<sdlc/x25> while it should also be copied in the <SnaRoot>\system directory.

RESOLUTION

Once the upgrade process is complete, the user needs to manually copy the EC<SDLC/X25>.DLL file from the <SNA>\system\hwsetup\ec<sdlc/x25> directory to <SnaRoot>\system.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0 Service Pack 1. A fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more information on the availability of this fix.
