SYMPTOMS
The new LINKCFG.EXE program used to support command-line installation of link services was not properly saving registry entries when installing DCA SDLC or DCA X.25 link services.
Using identical configuration parameters to configure from both manager and linkcfg.exe resulted in these differences in the registry:
Manager
47286: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DCASYNC\
Parameters\ExtraParameters Data1LS DCAX251
47335: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DCAX251\
Parameters\ExtraParameters DeviceName DCADL$03
47348: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DCAX251\
Parameters\ExtraParameters OSVCRng 0048-0050
Linkcfg
47286: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DCASYNC\
Parameters\ExtraParameters Data1LS
47335: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DCAX251\
Parameters\ExtraParameters DeviceName
47348: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DCAX251\
Parameters\ExtraParameters OSVCRng
CAUSE
The Device Parameter Strings were overwritten by the un-initialized configuration buffer.
