TITLE :Repair Utility Fails if Computer Name is More Than 8 Character
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced
Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The Windows NT Resource Kit includes a utility, REPAIR.EXE, that lets you
create a new Emergency Repair Disk from current registry settings. If your
computer name is longer than eight characters, creating a new Emergency
Repair Disk fails.
Example
-------
REPAIR /s /x /nPRODUCT /pA:
This will override the default computer name with the name PRODUCT.
CAUSE
=====
The utility creates a directory using the computer name. Because the disk
is formatted as FAT, it does not accept a name longer than eight characters
for a directory name.
WORKAROUND
==========
To avoid this problem, use the /n switch and specify an alternate name.
