- SYMPTOM
- =======
-
- In User Manager, you receive the following error message:
-
- The handle is invalid.
-
- You are not able to perform simple administrative functions in User
- Manager at this point.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- User Manager caches remote procedure call (RPC) handles on remote
- workstations. These handles are then used to do various operations on
- the remote machine. These handles are cached because of the relatively
- high cost of establishing an RPC session. Under some circumstances,
- these handles can become invalid. For example, if the domain
- controlling server goes down, cached RPC handles will no longer be
- valid.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To refresh RPC handles and restore any RPC sessions, do one of the
- following:
-
- - Change the focus to another domain by choosing Select Domain
- from the Computer menu. Then, change the focus back to the original
- domain.
-
- -or-
-
- - Exit and restart User Manager.
-
- -or-
-
- - Refresh connection information by pressing F5.
