SYMPTOMS

Server Manager displays Windows 2000 servers as Windows NT 5.0 servers. Note that this does not change the functionality of the server or the communication between the servers.

CAUSE

Windows 2000 was called Windows NT 5.0 in early development. Before release, the name was changed to Windows 2000. Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 using the down-level Server Manager tool still reports Windows 2000 servers as Windows NT 5.0.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
