Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You define a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) User class ID on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. To do this, you open a command prompt, you type the following command, and then you press Enter:

    ipconfig /setclassid * Class_NameNote In this command, "Class_Name" is a placeholder for the name of the user class.

  • You run an application that uses the DhcpRequestParams function to retrieve a configuration setting from a DHCP server.

  • The application calls the DhcpRequestParams function together with the ClassId parameter that is set to the NULL value.

In this scenario, the DhcpRequestParams function returns an "ERROR_SUCCESS" result. However, the function returns no data to the application even though the DHCP server returns all the information that is required.

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.1.760 0.16xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    RTM

    GDR

    6.1.760 0.21xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    RTM

    LDR

MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
