SYMPTOMS

Using the Linkutil.exe utility to display link service properties may show incorrect properties.

CAUSE

The search for link service always finds the last link service type, rather than stopping when the link service is found.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.11 SP2, 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 3.0 SP3, 4.0, and 4.0 SP1. We are researching this problem in SNA Server versions 2.X and 3.0 and will post more information here in the Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

WORKAROUND
