SYMPTOMS

When the Host Integration Server 2000 End-User (EU) Client or Admin Client is configured with a long organizational unit (OU) name, the SNA Resource Location Wizard will terminate abnormally due to an access violation.

If Dr.Watson is configured as the default debugger, you will get a DRWTSN32.log similar to the following:

Application exception occurred:
        App: HICliCfg.exe (pid=624)
        When: 10/22/2001 @ 15:46:43.986
        Exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

CAUSE

The SNA Resource Location Wizard uses a static string to store the OU name. The string is defined to contain a maximum of 64 characters. If the OU name is longer than this, an access violation results.
