Server Manager: Computer Name Split on Two Lines (103740)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q103740 SYMPTOMS
If you have a computer name that contains spaces, the characters
following the spaces are dropped to a second line in various warning
dialog boxes in Server Manager.
CAUSE
Warning dialog boxes use the FormatMessage API to display text.
FormatMessage does not support the use of spaces in computer names. It
formats lines using spaces to designate line breaks.
RESOLUTION
To avoid this problem, do not use spaces in computer names.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version
3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
