SYMPTOMS
When a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management station sends multiple requests within a single SNMP packet and one of those requests is in error, the response from Windows NT always indicates that the error occurred on the first request. This misleads management stations that send multiple requests in a single packet and require specific responses.



CAUSE
The length of an SNMP query is always passed as one through the Microsoft SNMP APIs. When the SNMP extension agent receives this request, the only error index that can be returned is one.



RESOLUTION
A correction was made to MGMTAPI.DLL to pass the correct length of an SNMP query.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1.
