This article was previously published under Q136026 SYMPTOMS
When OS/2 clients retrieve a directory listing of a directory shared by a
server running Windows NT 3.5 and Service Pack 3 or Windows NT 3.51, the
directory listing may show an incorrect volume label. It does not matter
which OS/2 version you have or which client software you use. This problem
was confirmed with OS/1.3, OS/2 2.x, LAN Manager 2.2c, and LAN Server 3.0
client.
The error occurs when the volume label is longer than eight characters. For
example, instead of showing DATASERV1_D it shows DATASERV.1_.
CAUSE
A fix was created for Windows NT 3.5 (see 129054) that changed the way
the volume label is returned to down level clients. This change cause the
problem mentioned above. STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and
Server versions 3.51 and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post
new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
