The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

The Client Configuration Tool (Ntconfig.exe) for the Windows NT SNA Server 3.0
client incorrectly specifies REG_SZ as the data type for the following registry
entry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
     \SYSTEM
        \CurrentControlSet
           \Services
              \SnaBase
                 \Parameters
                    \Transports


CAUSE
=====

The Windows NT SNA Client Configuration Tool incorrectly set the data type for
the Transports registry value to REG_SZ instead of REG_MULTI_SZ.

RESOLUTION
==========

The Windows NT SNA 3.0 Client Configuration Tool has been updated so that it
creates the correct data type for this registry value.

The updated file is:

  <Snaroot>\System\Ntconfig.exe

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This
problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack.
