Unable to Load Ontciutl.dll (193175)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Site Server 3.0

This article was previously published under Q193175

SYMPTOMS

The following event message occurs in the Event Viewer:
   EventId: 7034
   Unable to load DLL %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Common
   Files\SYSTEM\ContentIndex\ontciutl.dll>. Error: 5 - Access is
   denied.
				

CAUSE

The LAN Manager redirector cannot reliably query for the existence of a file on a universal naming convention (UNC) path. The UNC path is a directory path that contains a file share access to a certain server that is compliant with the Microsoft network. An example of a UNC path is as follows:

\\myserver\myshare

WORKAROUND

  1. If possible, remove the UNC path in the SYSTEM and USER path variables.

    -or-

    If this is not possible, add the location %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Common Files\SYSTEM\ContentIndex to the SYSTEM path BEFORE any UNC path variables.
  2. Restart the computer. SYSTEM variables are loaded on system startup.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Site Server version 3.0.
