Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, and 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The APPC Session Viewer tool in Microsoft SNA Server may not correctly read the registry in all cases. This can cause some properties to be displayed as an error in the status window of the tool.

CAUSE

The APPC Session Viewer tool fails to reset an internal counter, which causes the registry to be read incorrectly.

A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression- tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem.
