Setup of OS/2 Logon Servers Fails Under WinNT 3.51 SP3 (142163)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q142163 SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) will not set up an OS/2 logon
server if the site server is running Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack (SP) 3.
There is a change in Windows NT 3.51 SP3 that does not allow execution of a
DIR command on the UNC name of an OS/2 1.3 server share. When this command
is executed, the response is always "File Not Found." This behavior does
not apply to Windows NT 3.51 SP2.
CAUSE
The Maintenance Manager uses the above technique as a way of verifying that
it can see the OS/2 server share. Since this fails, no files get downloaded
to the logon server's SMS_SHR. The result is that the SMS Administrator UI
believes that the logon servers are configured correctly, but in fact the
OS/2 logon server is nonoperational.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51.
This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack.
