SYMPTOMS

If you install Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Version and switch to a different language, you may see mixed languages in the console for policy descriptions. The description of the policy for user rights assignment may contain, for example, one line in English

bypass traverse checking

and may contain another line in German:

auf diesen Computer vom Netzwerk zugreifen

CAUSE

The mixed languages occur because of the different ways in which the strings for the user rights are retrieved. User rights that were added in recent versions of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 are stored differently from earlier user rights.
