TITLE   :Unable to Change Previously Used FPNW Server Name
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.51 4.0
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbenv kbnetwork kbui

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51, 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to change the File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) server
name, the following error message is returned:

   The specified FPNW Server Name has been used. Please specify a different
   name.

CAUSE
=====

The previous name is stored in the following registry locations:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00x\Services\FPNW
\Bindery\Type07\00000002

   Object Name:REG_SZ:<servername>_FPNW

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00x\Services\FPNW
\Bindery\Type07\Name\<servername>_FPNW

RESOLUTION
==========

Two methods may be used to resolve this issue.

Method #1
---------

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall Windows NT. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems
resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry
Editor at your own risk.

Edit the registry and remove the entries for "<server name>_FPNW" noted
above, close Registry Editor, and restart FPNW. Enter the FPNW Server Name you
wish to use.

Using this method will have no effect on the Maintain NetWare Compatible Login
properties in User Manager.

Method #2
---------

Remove and reinstall FPNW.

This method will remove the NetWare Compatible User properties for all users in
User Manager. Once FPNW is reinstalled, the Maintain NetWare Compatible Login
choice will be available, but the checkbox will be unchecked for all user
accounts. The checkbox must be re-selected for all user accounts that require
this property.

Hint: In User Manager, hold down the CTRL key, select individual user accounts,
and double-click when the last account is selected. This will bring up the User
Properties dialog box. Check the Maintain NetWare Compatible Login checkbox.
This will enable this property for all selected users simultaneously. Be sure to
verify the other user properties before clicking OK.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.51 and
4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
