INTRODUCTION
This article discusses a software update that enables the TN3270 service in Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 to log the workstation name. Currently, when a TN3270 client connects to the TN3270 Server that is included with Host Integration Server, the following event is logged in the Application log: Event Type: Information

Event Source: TN3270 Server

Event ID: 601

Description: TN3270(E) session established with client at  (port  ) using LU.

Notice that the TN3270 client workstation name or the DNS name is not included in the description of the event message.

Note You must enable the Log normal audit events option in the TN3270 Server properties page to make sure that event messages for event 601 are logged.



MORE INFORMATION
This software update enables the TN3270 service to log the workstation name. Because many organizations use DHCP to assign TCP/IP addresses to workstations, it may be more useful to have the TN3270 client workstation name logged in the event message for event 601.

Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004
A supported feature that modifies the product's default behavior is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to modify the behavior that this article describes. Apply it only to systems that specifically require it. This feature may receive additional testing. Therefore, if the system is not severely affected by the lack of this feature, we recommend that you wait for the next Host Integration Server 2004 service pack that contains this feature.

To obtain this feature immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services telephone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
