SNMPTRAP Quits When Sending Information (112873)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
This article was previously published under Q112873 SYMPTOMS
SNMPTRAP.EXE generates and exception and quits when it tries to send
information to client applications that are registered to receive but
have since exited.
CAUSE
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) uses the executable file
SNMPTRAP.EXE to detect traps and alert client applications of them.
SNMPTRAP.EXE creates named pipes through which it sends trap information
to client applications that want to receive it. If a requesting application
ends, however, and the pipe is broken, SNMPTRAP quits when it tries and
fails to send information over that pipe.
RESOLUTION
A correction was made to MGMTAPI.DLL to handle this condition and
eliminates the symptom from SNMPTRAP.EXE.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S.
Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. For
