BUG: MMC Does Not Allow Renaming the SnapIn Root Mode

 * }

Q178526

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Management Console, version 1.0

-

SYMPTOMS
Using IConsoleNameSpace::SetItem to change the name of the scope pane's root node does not change the displayed text.

CAUSE
The console's internal method does not call GetDisplayName. It just returns the name it originally retrieved from the data object when it called IDataObject::GetDataHere with the clipboard format CCF_DISPLAY_NAME.

RESOLUTION
There is no workaround at this time.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
Using the hScopeId for the root node when it was originally enumerated and calling IConsoleNameSpace::SetItem with SDI_STR set in the mask does not change the root node name.

There are no other methods to change the name of the Scope Pane root node.
