SYMPTOMS
If you try to use Rmtshare.exe to assign permissions to a user whose username begins with a number, the operation will fail.



RESOLUTION
Microsoft has created a new version of Rmtshare.exe that can assign permissions to a user whose username begins with a number.

The self-extracting archive file, Rmtshar.exe, distributed by Microsoft Press, contains the executable and documentation for the updated Rmtshare.exe.

Rmtshar.exe is available for download from the following Microsoft FTP site:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
