SNMP Always Returns an Error Index of One (112871)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q112871 SYMPTOMS
When a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management station sends
multiple requests within a single SNMP packet and one of those requests is
in error, the response from Windows NT always indicates that the error
occurred on the first request. This misleads management stations that send
multiple requests in a single packet and require specific responses.
CAUSE
The length of an SNMP query is always passed as one through the Microsoft
SNMP APIs. When the SNMP extension agent receives this request, the only
error index that can be returned is one.
RESOLUTION
A correction was made to MGMTAPI.DLL to pass the correct length of an
SNMP query.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem has been corrected in the latest
U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version
3.1. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following
