SYMPTOMS

NOTE: Because of file dependencies, this update requires Microsoft Content Management Server 2001 Service Pack 1. If you apply the CMS 2001 Security Hotfixes package after you apply this hotfix, you must re-apply this hotfix. However, you do not have to install both this hotfix and the CMS 2001 Security Hotfixes package; the two can be installed independently.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Content Management Server 2001.

MORE INFORMATION

The hotfix has been designed so that the malfunctioning (duplicate) column in the CMS database is no longer used. Instead, a different column is used to avoid the duplication error.
