Server Manager Incorrectly Displays Windows 2000 Server as Windows NT 5.0

ID: Q241847

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SYMPTOMS

Server Manager displays Windows 2000 servers as Windows NT 5.0 servers. Note that this does not change the functionality of the server or the communication between the servers.

CAUSE

Windows 2000 was called Windows NT 5.0 in early development. Before release, the name was changed to Windows 2000. Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 using the down-level Server Manager tool still reports Windows 2000 servers as Windows NT 5.0.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
