The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS, version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you copy a file from a computer running Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS to a
Windows NT server and then back again, the file date may be changed.
For example, if you copy a file with a date of 01-01-98 to a Windows NT server,
the date is changed to 13-01-97 when you copy the file back to the computer
running Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur if both of the following conditions exist:
- You copy a file created on January 1 of any non-leap year.
- You are using the basic redirector included with Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:
- Use the full redirector included with Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS. To do so,
type "net start full" (without the quotation marks) at a command prompt, and
then press ENTER.
- Copy the file to the Windows NT server using the XCOPY command instead of the
COPY command.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The file date is always changed to 13-01-<nn>, where <nn> is one
year less than the year of the file you originally copied to the Windows NT
server.
