SYMPTOMS
A primary site server running Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 2
installed on Windows NT Server 3.51 discards SNMP traps coming from client
computers running Windows NT 4.0. Even when the trap filter is set to write
the traps to the Systems Management Server database, traps coming from
Windows NT 4.0 clients get discarded. However, traps coming from client
computers running Windows NT 3.51 are written to the database.
Note that the same configuration running on Windows NT Server 4.0 accepts
and writes to the database traps coming from client computers running
either Windows NT 3.51 or Windows NT 4.0.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, upgrade the Systems Management Server 1.2
Service Pack 2 primary site server to Windows NT Server 4.0.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2 Service Pack 2. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
