SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Personalization System (MPS) Operations Guide details the use
of the Windows NT 4.0 System Policy Editor to turn off the 8.3 file name
creation. After you follow this MPS pre-setup instruction, the Windows NT
default administrative shares are no longer available.
CAUSE
This is the result of a known issue with the Windows NT System Policy
Editor.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.5, 3.51 and 4.0
of Microsoft Windows NT. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
