SYMPTOMS
SNA Server registers itself with the Banyan Vines Directory Services when
the SNABASE service is started. This is necessary for SNA Server clients
that are communicating over the Banyan Vines redirector to connect to SNA
Server. If the StreetTalk username is the same as the SNA Server machine
name, the Vines StreetTalk server rejects a request from SNA Server to
create its PC-based service.
CAUSE
When SNABASE service starts up, it attempts to create a PC-based service
with its local StreetTalk Server using the StreetTalk Group name (for
example, CNS@Microsoft).
The PC-based service name that SNA Server submits to the Vines StreetTalk
server is a combination of the SNA Server computername along with the
StreetTalk group name. For example, if the computername is Godzilla, then
Godzilla@CNS@Microsoft is the PC-based service submitted by SNA Server.
If there is a StreetTalk username with Godzilla@CNS@Microsoft, then the
Banyan Vines server rejects the request (return code 1013) to create a PC-
based service.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the SNA Server computername or delete
the user record from the Vines StreetTalk server. You can do this using
the Vines Manage program.
