Password Change Fails Using DNS to Resolve Names (137554)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q137554 SUMMARY
When DNS is used to resolve names from Windows NT 3.5, the operation of
changing a password may fail.
MORE INFORMATION
This problem occurs over TCP/IP because the client computer sending the
request to resolve the name of the domain receives a response for the IP
address of the PDC (Primary Domain Controller) from the DNS Server, but
attempts to form a session with the PDC with the name of the domain as the
destination instead of the name of the PDC. This results in a Negative
Session Response from the primary domain controller with status Caller
Name Not Found.
Under Windows NT 3.51, the three way-handshake and session setup are
preceded by a NetBT request from the client computer for registered
services on the PDC. Upon receiving the response, the client correctly
establishes a session to the PDC with the PDCs machine name as the
destination.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.
This problem was corrected in Windows NT 3.51.
