SnaBase Fails to Start Using Novell NetWare Client

 Last reviewed: March 19, 1998
Article ID: Q171078

The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

SYMPTOMS

SnaBase stops responding on startup, without displaying an error if SNA Server is configured to use NetWare Directory Services (NDS) with the Novell NetWare client.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT SNA Server version 3.0 Server Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION

Although SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 1 does not support NDS operation over the Novell NetWare client, a fix for SNA Server 3.0 SP1 is available from Microsoft to correct this SnaBase problem. With this update applied, SNA Server checks the workstation type before it tries to register SnaBase with NDS. SNA Server will log an error if the workstation type is Novell.
