Admin: Snap-in Does Not Recognize the Local Machine Name (182638)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft COM Transaction Integrator for CICS and IMS 1.0, when used with:
    • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q182638

SYMPTOMS

Inadvertently, you can add the local computer's COMTI snap-in to Microsoft Management Console (MMC) twice. The first time is by adding the local snap- in; the second time is by adding the same snap-in, having first selected the local machine name.

To demonstrate the problem, perform the following steps:

  1. Start the COMTI Administration Tool; that is , start MMC with local machine snap-in for COMTI.
  2. On the Console menu, select Add/Remove SnapIn.
  3. Add COM Transaction Integrator snap-in.
  4. In the Chooser dialog box, select Another Computer and type the name of the local computer.
You end up with two copies of the Administration snap-in, which can confuse later updates.

STATUS
