- 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.
