SNMP Memory Leak in Windows NT4.0 Peer-to-Peer Network

ID: Q241189

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you run the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) service on a computer connected to a Windows NT 4.0 peer-to-peer network without a domain controller, your computer may slow down or stop responding (hang).

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the SMNP Lmmib2.dll call queries the domain table function, for which there are no entries in a peer-to-peer network. This behavior results in a memory leak.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
