SYMPTOMS
========
SNA Server Manager may not show the correct status for its configured print
sessions. Some of the print sessions may show an Inactive state when they are
actually in an Active or In Session state.
NOTE: This same problem may result in SNA Server Manager reflecting inaccurate
status for objects other than print sessions.
In addition, there may be other issues that cause SNA Server Manager to show
inaccurate status for configured objects. For a description of one of these
other issues, please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
Q185690 SNA Server Manager Not Reflecting Correct Status
CAUSE
=====
If an instance of SNA Server Manager is running and an instance of the SNA
Manage Agent service is restarted, then notification of object creation is
sometimes passed from the Manage client (Mngcli.exe) to the SNA Manage Agent.
This results in other instances of SNA Server Manager not getting informed of
all the objects that exist. These other instances of SNA Server Manager would
then show an incorrect status for some of its objects (that is, Print Sessions).
RESOLUTION
==========
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0, 3.0
Service Pack 1, 3.0 Service Pack 2, and 3.0 Service Pack 3.
