 * }

Q182660

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK)
 * Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
ResUtilGetEnvironmentWithNetName allocates and returns a buffer. There is no corresponding function to release the allocated memory.

CAUSE
The routine used to allocate the memory is an internal function, as is the corresponding routine that is used to free the memory block.

RESOLUTION
You can avoid the problem by allocating the memory for the new environment yourself and setting the _CLUSTER_NETWORK_NAME_ environment variable to the network name associated with the resource.

See the REFERENCES section for more information on getting the current environment and finding the network name for the resource.

STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
