I spent hours looking for tcp/ip problems after getting this error.

I then looked in the dsmsched.log file and found that I had a duplicate
drive label on my system.

I'm not sure why it gave the Protocol error in the Activity log as it was
not a protocol issue in my case.


With regards to the registry restore error.  Sometimes it errors out if you
have the current user hive checked.

Also, after one attempt at a registry restore, additional attempts to
restore the registry (prior to it being backed up again) gave me C++ errors
as well.  What I noticed was that when a registry restore is done, the files
are moved within the adsm.sys directory.  The original registry files in the
adsm.sys directory still existed, but they were 0Kb.  I overwrote them with
the backup copy it made and was able to do the registry restore again
without the C++ error.

        Hi,

        Has anyone seen the following message?

         ANR0444W Protocol error on session 78 for node APP003 (NT) -
            out-of-sequence verb (type SignOff) received.

            ANR0484W Session 78 for node APP003 (NT) terminated - protocol
            violation detected.

        I have a version 2 server running NT3.51 with the client running
version
        3 client code on NT4.

        I don't know if the problem is related but also on the same client
when
        i try and do a registry restore with activation on through the gui
it
        crashes with a horrible Microsoft Visual Basic c++ error.

        Any help would be much appreciated

            Later
