SYMPTOMS
========
When OS/2 clients retrieve a directory listing of a directory shared by a server
running Windows NT 3.5 and Service Pack 3 or Windows NT 3.51, the directory
listing may show an incorrect volume label. It does not matter which OS/2
version you have or which client software you use. This problem was confirmed
with OS/1.3, OS/2 2.x, LAN Manager 2.2c, and LAN Server 3.0 client.
The error occurs when the volume label is longer than eight characters. For
example, instead of showing DATASERV1_D it shows DATASERV.1_.
CAUSE
=====
A fix was created for Windows NT 3.5 (see Q129054) that changed the way the
volume label is returned to down level clients. This change cause the problem
mentioned above.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and
Server versions 3.51 and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
