SYMPTOMS

It is possible to get an access violation when trying to add a remote Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) logical unit (LU) using the same alias as an already existing remote APPC LU on the same connection.

Microsoft SNA Server Manager will first give a warning message in a dialog box:
The LU Alias has already been use. The LU Alias cannot be the same as any other APPC LU on its connection.
After you click OK to get rid of that dialog box, and then click OK on the Remote APPC LU Properties dialog box, an Application Error in Snaexp.exe may occur.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in all versions and service packs of SNA Server that are listed in the Applies To section of this article. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.

This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. service pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
