Q241395: Client Configuration for SNA Server Client Does Not Save Changes

Article: Q241395
Product(s): Microsoft SNA Server
Version(s): WINDOWS:4.0,4.0 SP1,4.0 SP2
Operating System(s):

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

- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Client Configuration utility (Ntconfig.exe) on a computer
running the SNA Server Client for Windows NT 4.0, and you attempt to make
changes to the client's configuration, the changes are not saved and the
following error message may occur:

  SNABase must be restarted in order for the changes to take effect.

Even after you stop and start the SNABase service, the previous settings are
still in place. Also, no names are listed in Client locates servers in an SNA
Server subdomain or Client locates servers by name on the Client Mode tab.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design.

The Client Configuration utility requires that the current user who is logged on
has Administrator rights for the changes to be saved. Even though the subdomain
or servers are not shown, the SNABase service contains the proper permissions to
download this information.

This is not true of the SNA Server Client for Windows 95.
