HIS 2000 may require you to restart your system after installation (271472)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP1
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP1
  • Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 SP6a
This article was previously published under Q271472

SYMPTOMS

When you install Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 on Windows NT 4.0 (SP6a or later) or Windows 2000 (SP1 or later), you may be required to restart your system after the installation has completed.

CAUSE

Host Integration Server 2000 only requires that you restart your system if you selected to install the security integration component named Windows Account Synchronization. This component installs the SNA Windows NT Account Synchronization Service (SNAPMP), as well as the password change DLL, Snapwchg.dll.

Because of the way that Windows NT and Windows 2000 security are implemented, the Local Security Authority (LSA) can only load the password change DLL during startup, and not dynamically.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
