SYMPTOMS
When you try to use the SNA Server command line utility Snacfg.exe to edit the Host Account Cache from a computer in a remote Windows NT domain, the following error message may occur:

Command Failed

Example:

SNACFG #Drive:\path\com.cfg HSMAPPING ABC\USERXXX /ADD /HSDOMAIN:LMVSTS /HSUSER:XXXX



CAUSE
Snacfg.exe does not support the use of these commands from a Windows NT domain that is different than the Windows NT domain where the master Windows NT Account Synchronization (SNAPMP) service is running.

This behavior is by design.



RESOLUTION
The following criteria must be met in order to properly run Snacfg.exe:
 * The user must be a member of the domain where the Windows NT Password Synchronization Service has been installed.
 * Because Snacfg.exe requires some additional SNA Server Manager components to function properly, Snacfg.exe must be run from a computer that also has SNA Server or the SNA Server client for Windows NT with SNA Server Manager installed.



MORE INFORMATION
If the user logged in is not a member of the domain where the Windows NT Password Synchronization Service has been installed, a trust relationship must be established between the two domains.

For additional information on using Snacfg.exe to configure Host Security Domains, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
