SYMPTOMS
When you install SNA Server 2.11, SNA Server Setup incorrectly adds a second COMNETMN entry to the registry even though the existing entry is the only entry necessary for SNA Server link services to send link alerts to Netview, provided a Netview connection is configured in SNA Server Admin.

The second COMNETMN entry is added to the Windows NT registry under the subtree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE under the following subkey:     SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/LanmanServer/Parameters/NullSessionPipes



CAUSE
SNA Server Setup fails to check if the COMNETMN pipe name is already specified in the registry.



RESOLUTION
Obtain the update to SNA Server Setup mentioned below.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
