PC DynAd: Dynadmin Does Not Allow Blank Admin Password (127890)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2
This article was previously published under Q127890 SYMPTOMS
When you log into the Dynadmin program (DYNADMIN.EXE) with an
Administrator's account that does not have a password, Dynadmin will prompt
you for a password. If you press ENTER, Dynadmin will return you to the MS-
DOS prompt. However, the Administrator's program (ADMIN.EXE) will launch
with the same account information.
CAUSE
When enhanced security is enabled, Dynadmin does not properly validate an
Admin account without a password.
RESOLUTION
Always use a password with the Admin account for Dynadmin, or specify
DrivesUNC or DrivesNovell as the dynamic connection parameter. This
parameter can be used with either the External or Dispatch programs.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in DYNADMIN.EXE, included with
version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
