The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you start the Terminal Server client (Mstsc.exe) and type a name that is
longer than 32 characters, the server is not found because Mstsc.exe truncates
the name after 32 characters.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this behavior, use any of the following methods:
- Use the Microsoft Windows 2000 version of the Mstsc.exe program.
- Use the server's IP address instead of its fully qualified domain name
(FQDN).
- Use the server's NetBIOS name.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem has been corrected in Microsoft Windows 2000.
