The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51 
- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

If an application attempts to shutdown or reboot a Windows NT system using the
InitiateSystemShutdown API, the time delay passed to the target system is
ignored if that system has been locked by the current user. The target system
shuts down or reboots immediately. If the target system has not been locked the
time delay is honored and it shuts down or reboots as expected.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and
3.51. This problem was corrected in Windows NT Workstation and Server version
4.0.
