Windows NT Server Tools on WFW Fails With RPC Error (130028)

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, you must modify the Registry on the remote Windows NT Server.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

1. Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
2. From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:
   

         \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
   
   						

3. Find the following:
   

         Value Name:   SizReqBuf
         Data Type:    REG_DWORD
   
   						

4. If the value exists, change the data to a number larger than the default data of 4356 (decimal).
   
   If the value does not exist:
   
   
   1. From the Edit menu, select Add Value.
   2. Enter the information above.
   3. For the data, enter a number larger than the default data.
5. Quit Registry Editor.
6. Either shutdown and restart Windows NT, or from a command prompt, type the following commands (pressing ENTER after each line):
   
   net stop server
   net start server
   net start netlogon (if the Netlogon service has not started)

You must also update your Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 client with the files located in the \CLIENTS\WFW\UPDATE subdirectory on the Windows NT Server version 3.5 CD-ROM as follows:

1. Close Windows for Workgroups
2. From MS-DOS, copy the following files to your Windows root directory (this is C:\WINDOWS by default):
   

         NET.EXE       450,262   09/04/94   08:07a
   
   						

3. From MS-DOS, copy the following files to your Windows System directory (this is C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM by default):
   

         NDIS.386       27,846   09/04/94   08:07a
         NETAPI.DLL    109,120   09/04/94   08:07a
         NWNBLINK.386   37,964   09/04/94   08:07a
         VNETSUP.386    14,647   09/04/94   08:07a
         VREDIR.386     85,746   09/04/94   08:07a
   
   						

4. Restart Windows for Workgroups
