SYMPTOMS
If the NVAlert service encounters data for a configured event that exceeds 4 KB in size, the NVAlert service may stop responding. The following event is logged when this problem occurs:
CAUSE
The NVAlert service is not properly allocating memory large enough to handle an alert that exceeds 4 KB.
RESOLUTION
The NVALERT code has been modified to allow any size Event Log entry. If the current buffer size is not large enough, it is increased to accommodate the size.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, 2.11 SP1, and 3.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
