TITLE :Err Msg: Invalid Codepage....in PORTUAS
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you run PORTUAS from the WNTUPMGR in the LAN Manager to Windows NT
Advanced Server upgrade package, the following error message appears:
Invalid Codepage
CAUSE
=====
PORTUAS doesn't overwrite a log file if one already exists. If
PORTUAS is re-run with the same log file name specified, the existing log
file is not overwritten. In addition, the WNTUPMGR does not execute the
PORTUAS if it detects an existing log file of the name specified in the
PORTUAS command.
When you use the custom upgrade, the default syntax for the PORTUAS command
is invalid: (PORTUAS -v -f restacc.bkp /log:portuas.log /codepage:###).
Edit the command line before running PORTUAS; if you don't edit the command
and run the utilities with the invalid syntax, a PORTUAS.LOG file is
created. Because PORTUAS won't overwrite or delete the log file, and
because WNTUPMGR won't run PORTUAS if a log file exists, you won't be able
to run the command until you delete the file or change the filename.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem do one of the following:
- Delete the PORTUAS.LOG file referenced in the command.
-or-
- Change the command to use a different log file name.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Run WNTUPMGR and select Custom Upgrade.
2. Choose to run only Restore User Accounts.
3. Start the utilities.
The process fails on PORTUAS utility. The WNTUPMGR.LOG file says to check
the PORTUAS.LOG file for more information. The PORTUAS.LOG reports the
cause of the failure is an "Invalid Codepage."
If you reconfigure the PORTUAS command in WNTUPMGR and change the default
command to include a valid codepage using the correct syntax, the same
error message occurs. WNTUPMGR reports the same error message, and the
PORTUAS.LOG file says "Invalid Codepage." Running the PORTUAS command at
the command prompt with the same syntax allows the command to complete
successfully.
