1.0  Introduction
-----------------
This release of Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 U.S. Service Pack 2 contains all 
the components that have been fixed since the retail release of Windows NT 
3.1 and Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1.  The Service Pack is easy to apply
from within Windows NT and changes only those files that were originally 
set up on the Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server system.  Service
Pack releases are cumulative:  they contain all previous fixes, as well as
any new fixes made to the system.



2.0  Installation Instructions for the Windows NT U.S. Service Pack
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing the Service Pack from a floppy disk:
1.  Insert Service Pack Disk 1 into the floppy drive.
2.  At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that floppy drive (that is, 
    A: or B:) and type UPDATE.
3.  Follow the instructions given on the screen.

Installing the Service Pack from a CD-ROM:
1.  Insert the Service Pack CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive.
2.  At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that CD-ROM drive, then
    change to the i386, MIPS, or ALPHA directory (depending upon whether
    you have an Intel, MIPS, or ALPHA AXP CPU), and type UPDATE.
3.  Follow the instructions given on the screen.

Installing the Service Pack from a network drive:
1.  At the Windows NT Command Prompt, type the command to connect to the 
    network drive on which the Service Pack files reside.
2.  Change to that network drive and type UPDATE.
3.  Follow the instructions given on the screen.



2.1  User Notes
---------------

*** Installing the Service Pack on a System with an OEM supplied HAL.DLL

If your Windows NT system uses a HAL.DLL supplied by an OEM (one that was not
installed from the Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 disk set) you need to follow the
steps below to reinstall the OEM HAL after the Service Pack Update program has
been run, but before the machine is rebooted.  If you do not reinstall the OEM
HAL properly, your system may not boot after installing the Service Pack
(because the OEM HAL will have been replaced by a HAL from the Service Pack).
If this happens, use your Emergency Repair disk to repair your system, then
follow the steps below.

1)  Before the Update program is run, copy the HAL.DLL file to HAL.OEM to
    save it.  On an x86 machine, HAL.DLL is located in the %windir%\system32
    directory.  On a MIPS or Alpha machine, the following command should
    locate it:

      DIR /S %windir%\..\hal.dll

2)  After the Update program has been run, but before you have it reboot
    your system, start a Command Prompt window, and restore the HAL.DLL you
    saved in step (1).  On an x86 machine,

      CD %windir%\system32
      COPY HAL.OEM HAL.DLL

3)  Now switch back to the Update program and have it reboot your system.


*** Configuring the NWLink Transport

When configuring the NWLink transport using the Network option in Control 
Panel, you must enter the Network Number as a hexadecimal value rather 
than as a decimal value as stated in the Help file. 


*** Converting Macintosh Filenames to Win32 Filenames

In general, the Windows NT (Win32) interface can view and use
filenames created by a Macintosh client.  There are two
exceptions, where the filename is an illegal Win32 filename:

    The Macintosh client creates a filename that ends with a period.

    The Macintosh client creates a filename that ends with a blank
    space.

In both of these cases, the Windows NT interface displays the filename 
with a thick vertical bar (|) or question mark (?) character replacing 
the final period or space.  Only the last character is replaced.  
For example:

    Macintosh filename         Windows NT displays the filename as . . .
    ------------------         -----------------------------------------
    An important file.         An important file|
    Very important file ...    Very important file ..|
    One space at the end       One space at the end|
    Two spaces at the end      Two spaces at the end |

You can view and use the converted filenames in the Windows NT interface.  
You cannot view and use them from the Command Prompt (CMD.EXE).  A Win16 
application that converts long filenames to the 8.3 format can convert 
these filenames to the 8.3 format.

For Macintosh filenames that already exist on the Services for Macintosh 
server, before this updated functionality, the server will rename such 
files the first time they are accessed.

The final character is mapped to an unused UNICODE character (0xF000+xx).  
Windows NT does this same mapping for characters that are illegal in the 
NTFS file system.


*** Updating Printer Drivers Installed for Different CPU Architectures

The Service Pack only updates printer drivers for the CPU architecture
of the machine you install it on.  For example:  If you update an Intel CPU
print server that you have MIPS computers printing to, the server also needs
to have the MIPS version of the printer driver installed.  In this case, the
Service Pack only updates the Intel printer driver on the print server.  You
need to install the appropriate updated printer driver(s) for other
architectures (MIPS, Alpha) by hand.

The following procedure describes how to install the Postscript printer
driver by hand.

1.  Rename PSCRIPT.DLL and PSCRPTUI.DLL in the directory below to
    PSCRIPT.OLD and PSCRPTUI.OLD

      system32\spool\drivers\<platform>

    where <platform> is w32mips, w32alpha, or w32x86.

2.  For MIPS or ALPHA drivers, copy the PSCRIPT.DLL and PSCRPTUI.DLL files
    from the MIPS or ALPHA subdirectories on the CD-ROM to the subdirectory
    in Step 1 above. For Intel-based drivers, type

       expand -r PSCRIPT.DL_ <subdirectory from step 1>
       expand -r PSCRPTUI.DL_ <subdirectory from step 1>

    from the i386 subdirectory on the CD-ROM where <subdirectory> is the
    subdirectory from Step 1.


*** Emergency Repair Disk

If it is necessary to use the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk to repair
your Windows NT system at some time after you apply the Service Pack, you
will need to re-apply the Service Pack after the repair is completed.  This
is because the Emergency Repair Disk repairs your system by restoring your
original Windows NT setup.  After the repair has completed, simply follow
the above Installation Instructions to re-apply the Service Pack.


*** Adding New Components to the System

If new software or hardware components are changed or added to your system
after you have applied the Service Pack, it will be necessary to re-apply
the Service Pack.  This is because the files taken from the original Windows
NT disk set may not be equivalent to the files on the Service Pack disk set.
It is not possible to install new components directly from the Service Pack
disk set (such as a new keyboard or printer driver).  New components must be
installed from the original Windows NT disk set.


*** Command Reference Colors

Some commands in the Command Reference (NTCMDS.HLP) list of commands are not
visible if your system colors are set to Window Text = white and Window
Background = black.  Change your Windows Background to a lighter color to see
all the commands in the list.


*** Previous Versions of NTBackup

Backup tapes created with the version of NTBackup shipping with this Service
Pack cannot be restored or read with versions of NTBackup shipped prior to
Service Pack 2.  However, tapes created with previous versions of NTBackup can
be read and restored by the version of NTBackup in this Service Pack.  NTBackup
now uses Unicode whenever it writes to tape, which was not understood by
previous versions of NTBackup.


*** Previous Versions of Services For Macintosh

To correct a problem with file names ending in a space or period, a change was
made to the Services For Macintosh software which makes earlier versions of
this software unable to correctly read Macintosh file names on the Windows NT
Advanced Server system.  The new Services For Macintosh software will alter the
NTFS file name to allow Macintosh clients to properly view them.  This means
that once you update your Services For Macintosh system files with this Service
Pack, versions of the SFM software prior to Service Pack 2 will not function
properly if installed on the system.


*** Installing Symbol Files from the CD-ROM

To install the symbol files corresponding to the new binaries in Service
Pack 2, do the following (assuming your CD-ROM drive is D:, your symbol files
are located in the C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS directory, and you are installing the
files for an x86 machine):

    XCOPY /S /U /D D:\SUPPORT\DEBUG\I386\SYMBOLS C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS

This will copy the Service Pack 2 .DBG files over the existing versions of
these files.  The XCOPY command shown will copy only those .DBG files that are
already installed (/U switch), and only those with a more recent time-date
stamp (/D switch).

Cannot Backup Files Remotely with No File Permissions
-----------------------------------------------------

Article ID: Q107633

for which your account has no permissions. However, from the Backup
program, you can see files in the same directory if you are logged
onto the Windows NT server sharing the files. In other words, you are
able to backup files without file permissions locally, but not
remotely.
