Error Attempting to Specify a DBCS Security Provider
This article was previously published under Q134607 SYMPTOMS
You cannot add user-level access when you try to add users or groups from a
double-byte character set (DBCS) domain. When you type the name of an existing DBCS domain in the "Obtain list of users and groups from" box, you receive the following error
message:
Windows could not find the specified security provider on the network.
Do you want to use the name you typed in anyway?
If you click Yes, using the domain name you typed, and specifying that the
authenticator is a domain, everything works correctly despite the error
message.
However, if you type the name of an existing DBCS server in the box, it is accepted without an error message. CAUSE
The problem lies with the Windows NT domain controller, which returns an
empty list when calling the enumeration function with a DBCS domain.
Windows NT handles DBCS servers correctly, and handles DBCS domains
correctly, except in the situation described above.
RESOLUTION
Click Yes when you receive the error message and continue. There is no loss
of functionality or data.
