Article: Q165153
Product(s): Microsoft SNA Server
Version(s): WINDOWS:3.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 13-JUN-2001

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

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

SYMPTOMS
========

The SNA Server name cannot be changed within SNA Server Manager after the
Windows NT Server name is changed.

CAUSE
=====

SNA Server Manager was not originally designed to allow the SNA Server name to
be changed.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the hotfix mentioned below. With the hotfix, SNA
Server Manager has been updated to allow a SNA Server name to be changed. A
Change button that allows the SNA Server name to be changed has been added to
the Server Properties dialog box. The Server properties dialog box is available
by right-clicking on a SNA Server listed in SNA Server Manager, and then
clicking Properties on the resulting menu.

The SNA Server whose name is to be changed must be in an Offline status before
the name can be changed. Therefore, the name can be changed when viewing SNA
Server configurations by means of Offline mode or by means of online
configurations when the server to be changed is Offline. The SNA Server name
cannot be changed if the server status is Inactive or Active.

The updated modules are:

  <Snaroot>\System\Snapage.dll
  <Snaroot>\System\Snaole.dll

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.
