SYMPTOMS
========
When you run the Setmdir command, you may receive the the following error
message:
Error: 0003 Setting the Registry File.
An error occurred booting this server based workstation.
You will need to contact the system administrator for help.
CAUSE
=====
The Setmdir command is not correctly reading the mapping line after the
sysdatpath line in the Machines.ini file.
RESOLUTION
==========
A normal Machines.ini entry would look something like:
[000000000000]
sysdatpath=h:\user1
h=\\server\share\dir1
Reverse the order of the lines in the Machines.ini file, so that the entry reads
as follows:
[000000000000]
h=\\server\share\dir1
sysdatpath=h:\user1
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
