SYMPTOMS

When you create a new partition using "PMAdmin add dbserver", if you do not specify parameters /maxconnections /replicationtype or /timeout, PMAdmin sets them to a default of 0. This default renders the partition unusable until it is changed to a valid number.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, apply the latest Site Server 3.0 service pack.

WORKAROUND

To work around the problem, use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to create or edit partitions. Please review the Site Server 3.0 documentation for details.
