NetWare Files Overwritten When Updating To Windows NT 3.51 SP4

 Last reviewed: September 7, 1996
Article ID: Q147642
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51

SYMPTOMS

When you run UPDATE.EXE in Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 4 on the SYS volume of a NetWare server, some files in the \PUBLIC and \LOGIN directories are overwritten.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, do not connect to the root of the SYS volume. For example, do not connect to \\NetWare\SYS. Instead, connect to \\NetWare\SYS\I386 (assuming that the Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 4 files reside in I386).

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51 Service Pack 4. This problem was corrected in the latest Windows NT 3.51 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
