2155.0. "NT4 and RPC" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Adrian Morrisson) Thu Feb 06 1997 18:40

Hi

I have a customer that has install nt1.1b on four systems and is experienceing
the following problem.  

Immediately after system startup it is possible to login to the DCE 
cell.  Shortly afterwards the Autostart DCE service which is set to 
Automatic will stop.  Within a few minutes any attempt to use any of 
the NT tools or control panel applets will fail with the following 
error message - "The RPC server is unavailable".

There are no relevant DEC DCE service or service control manager error 
in the System or Application logs.

Any clues etc would be appricated

regards

Adrian Morrisson

2155.1use only tcp on nt4.0FOUNDR::WOODRUFFThu Feb 06 1997 20:3812
> error message - "The RPC server is unavailable".

There is a problem with the UDP protocol on NT4.0. The DCE group is trying
to get a patch from Microsoft.

Until then limit the protocol to only tcp by setting the following
environment variable via the control panel - System

RPC_SUPPORTED_PROTSEQS=ncacn_ip_tcp
