Net Session Command Does Not Interpret Redirected Input

ID: Q131389

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51

SYMPTOMS

If you create a batch file (for example, TEST) that contains a carriage return and linefeed character, and you direct this file to the NET SESSION command as follows,

NET SESSION /DELETE <TEST

the command will request a response with the statement,

Do you want to continue this operation(Y/N) [Y]

but then it will return the error:

No valid response was provided.

0D 0A (carriage return and linefeed) are valid characters.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, add the /Y parameter to provide the default Yes response. For example:

NET SESSIONS /DELETE /Y

The /Y parameter is not documented at this time.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.1, 3.5, and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
