Host Security Group Inadvertently Removed From Start Menu (194619)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP1
  • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q194619

SYMPTOMS

Three services make up the SNA Host Account Synchronization system. The Windows NT Account Synchronization and Host Account Cache Services have a stand alone Setup program from the Host Account Synhronization Service that is installed within the SNA Server setup process. If these two services are installed on a computer running Windows NT, a Host Security Group is created. If at a later time, SNA Server is installed without selecting to install the Host Account Synchronization service, this group will be removed.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 4.0 and 4.0 Service Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, the Windows NT Account Synchronization and Host Account Cache Services setup program can be run again to restore the missing group.
