======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 3.0 SP3, 4.0

SYMPTOMS
========

An Event 730 in the Windows NT Application Event Log may return garbled ASCII
characters rather than the correct Local LU Name.

CAUSE
=====

The LU Name logs as a string, when in fact it is a non-NULL terminated CHAR8,
causing the log to incorrectly interpret the Local LU Alias.

STATUS
======

SP1, 3.0 SP2, and 3.0 SP3. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
