Bug #: 9179
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
If you have a computer name that contains spaces, the characters
following the spaces are dropped to a second line in various warning
dialog boxes in Server Manager.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
Warning dialog boxes use the FormatMessage API to display text.
FormatMessage does not support the use of spaces in computer names. It
formats lines using spaces to designate line breaks.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To avoid this problem, do not use spaces in computer names.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version
3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
