SYMPTOMS
If you add a computer with a 15-character computer name to the Component Servers (routing) list the name will appear in the list, but you will not be able to route COM+ object instantiations to that server. There are no error messages or events associated with this problem.



CAUSE
COM+ load balancing (CLB) is doing a call to GetServerName using MAX_COMPUTER_NAME instead of MAX_COMPUTER_NAME+1 so the computer name returned is one character short.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, either:  Install Application Center 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1).For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

-or-

 Rename the server with a name that is no more than 14 characters long.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Application Center 2000 SP1.
