Error Locating Server with Master UAS Data (103623)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q103623 SYMPTOMS
When you choose Permissions from the Users menu in Remote Access
Administrator, the following error message appears:
Error locating server with master UAS data. Error 6118: The list
of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.
CAUSE
This error message can be caused by any of the following:
- The domain controller may no longer be running.
- The connection to the domain controller may be broken.
- The Windows NT computer is not on a network.
RESOLUTION
If you name a server or domain in Remote Access Administrator and you are
not on a network, or are on a network where the named item does not exist,
the above error will be generated. Although you can change the domain or
server name with Remote Access Administrator, there is no way to erase a
domain or server name completely. To do this requires editing the Registry:
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.
- Start Registry Editor and locate the following Registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT
\CurrentVersion\Network\Remote Access Admin
- Locate the value RasAdminFocus. It should be of type REG_SZ, and
have a text string which matches the name of the server or domain
you selected in Remote Access Administrator.
- Erase the text string from RasAdminFocus, leaving it with a null
value.
Upon restarting Remote Access Administrator, you should be able to choose
Permissions from the Users menu, without generating any error.
