SYMPTOMS
When the target server name is a substring of the controller name, Microsoft Application Center 2000 deployments may be unsuccessful, and you may receive the following error message:

error 0xc014471

Deployment cannot deploy to the source server

For example, this may occur when a controller that is named Server001S deploys to a target that is named Server001.



CAUSE
Application Center performs a string comparison of the server name to verify that the controller is not specified as a deployment target. The string comparison that is used only considers the string length of the target server name, so the controller and target appear to have the same name.



RESOLUTION
A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Only apply it to systems that are experiencing this specific problem. This hotfix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next service pack that contains this hotfix.

  Date         Time   Version     Size     File name 10-Jul-2002 03:10  1.0.441.10  433,232  Acadmin.exe

Acadmin.exe has been modified to perform an absolute string comparison that is not limited to the length of the target server name.



WORKAROUND
Rename the target server so that it is not a substring of the controller name.
