PRB: RPC App Using Auto Handles Can't Call Remote Procedure

ID: Q140015

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), version 3.51

SYMPTOMS

An RPC application using auto handles cannot call a remote procedure on a server that is in a different Windows NT computer domain than the client workstation's Windows NT computer domain.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The information in this article applies in the context of Microsoft locator service and the workstations participating in a Windows NT domain model.

Auto handles implicitly make use of the RPC name service calls to locate the server. The locator does a look up for the servers in the local domain only. Thus, if a server is registered in a different domain, calling the remote procedure will create an exception (typically error 1727), assuming there are no RPC servers available that expose the same interface in the local domain.
