Update 885250 and Snap Servers

[Guest]

We are currently running Windows XP sp1a in our plant. We are running a snap
server for a service throughout. When we install the recently released
update 885250, the connection fails. If we uninstall this update, it works.
I have found this post in google groups with other people who have this
issue.

If we install xp sp2, the issue is fixed as well, but we would prefer not to
install that yet.

Thanks for any help
Mike

Hi

Did you see the last post in that thread, it looks like Jon got
a workaround from Veritas::

Credit to Veritas - on your snap server, uncheck "Enable NT SMBs" under
advanced settings for MicroSoft Networking. Ours are working fine.

885250 causes other problems under xp, both sp1 and sp2--and smb, though it
can be disabled on a snap server, can't be disabled (afaik) on windows pc's
themselves, so connections to folders on windows machines will frequently
fail with kb885250 installed, even though it might work with folders on
smb-disabled snap servers.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I did see that, while we are running a snap
server, we are not running a veritas snap server. Unfortunately we don't
have the ability to go in and modify that setting.

Thanks
