Error 4119 when Selecting SNA Server Admin Security Options (138856)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11, when used with:
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT
This article was previously published under Q138856 SYMPTOMS
When you select any of the options under SNA Server Admin Security the
following error message appears:
Error: 4119
Cannot find or connect to the primary SNA server to support your
request.
Note: The three selections on SNA Server Admin Security menu are
Permissions, Auditing, and Owner.
CAUSE
This error occurs if SNA Server is installed on a Windows NT Server that
has a computer name containing 15 characters.
When shared memory is being initialized, the GetComputerName() application
programming interface (API) call tries to null-terminate the computer name
string it writes to the shared memory Cfgbox field. This field is 15 bytes
long, as it should be, but that is one byte too short to hold the 15-
character computer name plus the null character. Therefore, the API
GetComputerName() returns without writing the string at all, leaving the
field full of zeroes.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft has updated the file <snaroot>\SYSTEM\SNABASE.EXE to correct this
problem.
To work around this problem, install SNA Server on a NT Server with a
computername shorter than 15-characters.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT.
This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11
U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on
