2.11 SP2 includes SNA Server 2.11 Service Pack 1 (SP1) as well as bug fixes implemented since 2.11 SP1. In addition, the 2.11 SP2 CD includes updated documentation, collateral, and SDK (software development kit files). 2.11 SP2 includes updated SNA Server and client software for I386 (Intel) and DEC Alpha platforms.

NOTE: Support for MIPS and Power PC platforms has been discontinued and is not included in 2.11 SP2. If you are running SNA Server on a MIPS or Power PC system and are experiencing a problem which has been fixed in 2.11 SP2, please contact Microsoft support for an update.

Downloading SNA Server 2.11 Service Pack 2 --

Self-extracting executable files containing updated 2.11 SP2 SNA Server and client files can be downloaded electronically from www.microsoft.com. The following files comprise the updated SNA Server and client files for 2.11 SP2:

211SP2IS.EXE - 2.11 SP2 Server Update (Intel) (NOTE 1) 211SP2AS.EXE - 2.11 SP2 Server Update (Alpha) (NOTE 1) 211SP2IC.EXE - 2.11 SP2 Windows NT Client Update (Intel) 211SP2AC.EXE - 2.11 SP2 Windows NT Client Update (Alpha) 211SP2CL.EXE - 2.11 SP2 Win 3.x, MS-DOS, OS/2 Client Update 211SP295.EXE - 2.11 SP2 Windows 95 Client Update SNAWIN95.EXE - 2.11 SP2 Windows 95 Client - full client 211SP2TN.EXE - 2.11 SP2 TN3270 Server Update (Intel & Alpha) 211SP2EI.EXE - 2.11 SP2 Eicon WAN Services Drivers (Intel) (NOTE 1) 211SP2EA.EXE - 2.11 SP2 Eicon WAN Services Drivers (Alpha) (NOTE 1)

For information about changes implemented in 2.11 SP1 and SP2, see the SNA21SP2.HLP file included in 211SP2IS.EXE and 211SP2AS.EXE. SNA21SP2.HLP also contains licensing information, the 2.11 SP1 contents, and 2.11 SP2 contents. The contents for SP1 and SP2 comprise articles describing the symptoms, causes, and solutions to known problems. The updated documentation, collateral and SDK files are only available on the 2.11 SP2 CD and are not available for electronic download.

NOTE 1: The electronic download versions of SNA Server SP2 do not include updated driver files for Eicon WAN Services. These must be downloaded separately (211SP2EI.EXE or 211SP2EA.EXE, as appropriate). Once the 211SP2IS.EXE or 211SP2AS.EXE file has been extracted, the Eicon update should be copied to the \system\hwsetup\eicon directory and extracted using "211sp2ei.exe -d". This will restore the Eicon driver files to the same location as included on the SNA Server 2.11 SP2 CD.

Instructions for Decompressing Files

All of the above files are compressed in self-extracting archive format, containing SNA Server 2.11 SP2. To extract each file, copy the file to a separate empty directory on your hard drive and run the file using the "-d" option. For example:

211SP2IS.EXE -d 

Where  is the destination directory for the service pack. If you wish to extract the service pack to the current directory, leave  blank.

After the service pack file has been decompressed, run the UPDATE.EXE program to install the updated SNA Server 2.11 server or client files, as appropriate.

NOTE: The UPDATE program will automatically stop any SNA Server services which may be running.

Installing the Service Pack Files - Both the SNA Server and SNA client files have been updated in 2.11 SP2. Updates may be applied in any order -- to the server and/or to the clients. It is recommended that all systems running SNA Server 2.11 (that is, SNA Servers and client computers) are updated to SP2. It may not be necessary to update the client computers to SP2 unless you are experiencing a client problem that has been fixed in SP2.
