This article was previously published under Q148956 SYMPTOMS
When you remove SNA Server 2.x prior to either upgrading or reinstalling
SNA Server, the SNA setup program will delete all registry entries related
to SNA Services that you have installed, such as APPC or CPIC transaction
programs (TPs), for example, the APPC Ping (APINGD) program.
CAUSE
The problem is that Microsoft Windows NT services defined as SNA Server TPs
have certain data in the registry that SNA Server recognizes as its own and
removes them when SNA Server gets removed. Also Windows NT applications
that are defined as SNA Server TPs are configured under the SnaBase
registry key that is removed when SNA Server is removed.
RESOLUTION
Before you remove the SNA Server, you can use Regedt32.exe to backup the
affected subtrees. Also, you can use TPSETUP to reinstall the TPs back into
the registry.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server
versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, and 2.11.sp1. We are researching this problem and
will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
