Logon Failure on SMP Computer with GSNW or CSNW Installed (125758)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q125758 SYMPTOMS
When logging on at the console of a Windows NT version 3.1 computer, the
logon may stop responding (hang) after entering the logon information and
choosing 'OK' in the Welcome dialog box. Remote clients can access the
computer via the network, but the console is unavailable.
This has been observed on Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP) systems with
Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW) or Client Services for Netware (CSNW)
installed. The problem is intermittent in that a variable, random number of
logon attempts will succeed before the failure occurs.
This has been confirmed on Windows NT version 3.1, Service Pack 2.
CAUSE
There is a problem in WINLOGON.EXE.
RESOLUTION
Once the logon failure has occurred, the console is unavailable until the
system is restarted.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem has been corrected in Windows NT
Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.5.
