SNA Server Reference Documents Registry Settings Incorrectly (138859)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.0
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.1
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0
- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q138859 SYMPTOMS
Appendix C of the SNA Server "Reference Guide" describes SNA Server
registry parameters that can be used to alter the default behavior of SNA
Server. These parameters are configured in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/SnaServr/Parameters
The Reference Guide describes these parameters as supporting "YES" and "NO"
values. However, when most of these parameters are added to this registry
key, the feature becomes enabled even though the registry value may be set
to "NO".
CAUSE
The SNA Server service checks for the presence of these settings within the
registry to determine whether to enable them or not, even if the entry is
set to "NO". So, the Reference Guide incorrectly defines the method used to
enable and disable these settings.
RESOLUTION
If the following entries are present in the SnaServr/Parameters key, they
are enabled, even if set to "NO":
NOTERMSELF
NORETRY
ALLOWBBRQE
NO4004
NO400D
NO2001
CLEANUP
ALLOCINACT
NOINITCNOS
NOPWDSUB
SNA Server 2.11 only:
To disable the above settings, the registry value should be removed and the
SNA Server service must be restarted.
If the following entries are set to "NO" (all caps), the entry is disabled.
If they are set to any other value, or are not present in the
SnaServr/Parameters registry key, they are enabled:
If the following entry is set to "YES" (all caps), the entry is enabled.
If it is set to any other value or is not present in the registry key, it
is disabled:
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, 3.0, and 4.0.
