This article was previously published under Q316382 SYMPTOMS
The user function in Snacfg.exe lists information about a user in the configuration file. The syntax of the command is:
snacfg #com.cfg user domainname\username
If you use this command with a user name (including the domain name) that is longer than 20 characters, one of the following symptoms occurs:
- Snacfg returns a "User not found" error message.
- Snacfg returns information about an incorrect user. This symptom occurs if another user name that is exactly 20 characters long and matches the first 20 characters of the requested user name exists in the configuration file.
CAUSE
These symptoms occur because Snacfg truncates the username parameter after 20 characters.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in SNA Server 4.0 and Host Integration Server 2000.
