UDCONFIG Displays Wrong User Name (164769)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SNA Server 3.0

This article was previously published under Q164769

SYMPTOMS

When starting the Host Account Manager (UDCONFIG) to set the user's password in the SNA Server host account cache, Host Account Manager may show the incorrect domain in the Windows NT User Name field that indicates the currently logged on user. If this User Name is not a member of the host security domain group, the Host Account Manager also displays the following error:
You do not have sufficient privilege

CAUSE

The Host Account Manager attempts to look up the local SID for the user. If a user is logged on to a Windows NT Server domain account from a Windows NT Member Server, and attempts to run Host Account Manager, the local account is used for the lookup, instead of the domain account.

You are more likely to encounter this problem when using common account names (such as Administrator) that exist within the Windows NT Server domain as well as on member servers.

RESOLUTION

A fix is available to correct this problem.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
