SMS: Netmon: GPF Occurs When Large String Entered in Name Field
Article ID: 182428

APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q182428
SYMPTOMS
A general protection (GP) fault may occur in Network Monitor if you enter a
string of 49 characters in the Name box of the "Find Network Addresses From
Name" dialog box and then run a query.
CAUSE
Even though 49 characters is an excessive number for a machine name, the
Name field allows this many characters to be entered. Therefore, it should
either allow a query based on the 49 character machine name or it should
generate an error message stating that the name length is too long.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post additional
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
