Win Netadmin Ignores High Dword for Computing Bytes Sent/Recvd (112808)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2
This article was previously published under Q112808 SYMPTOMS
The LAN Manager Netadmin utility for Windows reports the wrong number of
bytes sent to or received from a LAN Manager server.
CAUSE
When the Windows Netadmin utility calculates number of bytes sent to or
received by the server, it disregards the high 32-bit double word (dword)
of the NetBIOS Control Block (NCB) counter (this is a large counter
consisting of two dword's, totaling 64 bits). Windows Netadmin only reports
the low dword. Hence, when the counter reaches a multiple of 4 GB, Windows
Netadmin reports it as if it were re-initialized to zero.
NOTE: The LAN Manager OS/2 Netadmin utility computes this figure correctly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem. We are researching this and
will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
