256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
SYMPTOMS
When IBM Client Access software is used for logon validation on a computer that is running Windows NT Workstation, the logon dialog box may take a long time to appear, and the Domain list may not appear at all.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the Protected Storage service must start before the Client Access services start. The behavior is intermittent because the timing of services' starting on a Windows NT Workstation-based computer is affected by several circumstances.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, contact IBM to obtain a fix.
WORKAROUND
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
To work around this behavior, run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and add a value to Services keys:
- Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
- Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cwbnetnt
NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.
- On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value name: DependOnService
Data type: REG_MULTI_SZ
Value data: ProtectedStorage - Add the same value to the following keys also:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cwbrdr
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cwbrxd - Quit Registry Editor.
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior can occur on a network when IBM Client Access 3.2 or 4.4 is installed on Windows NT Workstation-based computers to validate their logon identification to IBM AS400 mainframe computers that may be running System Management Server 2.0.
