SYMPTOMS
The Systems Management Server Site Configuration Manager fails to correctly add a domain to the site when the domain contains a server name that exceeds 13 characters.
CAUSE
When the NetServerEnum2 call is made to list the servers in the domain, the correct list is returned by the primary domain controller (PDC). Because the API returns error 2140 "An internal error has occurred," SMS Site Config Manager ignores the domain.
When a server is added using the Use Specified Servers option, and the server name exceeds 13 characters, the API (application program interface) function return error 2453. Again, Systems Management Server Site Configuration Manager ignores the domain.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use server names with 13 characters or fewer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
