PRB: RPC App Using Auto Handles Can't Call Remote Procedure
Article ID: 140015
Article Last Modified on 3/8/1999
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.51
This article was previously published under Q140015
SYMPTOMS
An RPC application using auto handles cannot call a remote procedure on a
server that is in a different Windows NT computer domain than the client
workstation's Windows NT computer domain.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
The information in this article applies in the context of Microsoft locator
service and the workstations participating in a Windows NT domain model.
Auto handles implicitly make use of the RPC name service calls to locate
the server. The locator does a look up for the servers in the local domain
only. Thus, if a server is registered in a different domain, calling the
remote procedure will create an exception (typically error 1727), assuming
there are no RPC servers available that expose the same interface in the
local domain.
