Config File Security does not Display Correct Domain Name

• Microsoft SNA Server version 2.11, 2.11 SP1, 2.11 SP2, 3.0, and 3.0 SP1

SYMPTOMS

In SNA Server Admin version 2.11 SP1, Security/Owner shows 2 fields, SNA Domain and Owner. The value displayed in the SNA Domain field is actually the value for the NT Domain, rather than for the SNA SubDomain.

With SNA Server version 3.0, in SNA Server Manager under Domain Properties/ Config File Security/Take Ownership, the fields are SNA SubDomain and Owner. The value for SNA SubDomain correctly displays the SNA SubDomain. However, the Owner field displays the complete NT Domain Name/UserName only in some cases.

For example:

• If the NT Domain Username and/or Machine account exist in the same domain as the domain that the Owner exists in, the Owner field will display only the UserName.
• If the NT Domain Username and/or Machine account exist in a different domain than the Owner exists in, the Owner field will display both the NT Domain Name and the UserName.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.11, 2.11 SP1, 2.11 SP2, 3.0, and 3.0 SP1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
