Dr. Watson in Mmc.exe When SNA Server 4.0 and SMS 2.0 Are on the Same Computer

• Microsoft SNA Server, versions 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2

SYMPTOMS

When SNA Server 4.0 and Systems Management Server 2.0 are installed on the same computer, an exception error may occur when you try to open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) plug-in for SNA Server (Mmcsna.msc) using Mmc.exe. If Dr. Watson is configured as the default debugger on the system, a Drwtsn32.log file similar to the following is generated when this problem occurs:

Error:
