This article was previously published under Q186078 SYMPTOMS
Name resolution may fail if the NetBIOS name has an ASCII sixteenth
character. The problem occurs with Microsoft Systems Management Server
Remote Control service when trying to attach to a computer running the
Remote Control server component. The problem occurs when the name is not
registered with WINS, and DNS is used to resolve the name.
This problem may occur with any application using ASCII characters for
NetBIOS name suffix.
CAUSE
Systems Management Server Remote Control service uses <0x43> (ASCII "C") as
NetBIOS name suffix for Systems Management Server Administrators Remote
Control tool.
While generating the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to be resolved by
DNS, the NetBIOS service parses the name incorrectly when the suffix is an
ASCII character.
