SYMPTOMS
Specifying a SNA Server subdomain or server name that contains a backslash (for example, \\server\1) in the Open Subdomain option in SNA Server Manager causes an application exception in MngCli.exe. The application exception causes an Drwtsn32.log to be generated if Drwtsn32.exe is configured as the default debugger on the SNA Server computer.



CAUSE
The Manage Client (Mngcli.exe) does not properly validate the subdomain or server name if it includes a backslash ( \ ).



RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 3.0 SP3, 4.0, and 4.0 SP1. We are researching this problem in SNA Server version 3.0 and will post more information here in the Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

S E R V P A C K



WORKAROUND
Do not use a backslash in the name after the initial backslashes ( \\ ).



MORE INFORMATION
After you applying the Service Pack, the Manage Client validates the name, and if a backslash appears after the first two backslashes, it is replaced by a terminating NULL, and everything after the backslash is ignored.

The Dr. Watson will look similar to the following:   Application exception occurred: App: exe\mngcli.dbg (pid=242) When: 5/25/1998 @ 13:9:36.502 Exception number: 80000003 (hardcoded breakpoint)
